Château Mouton-Rothschild 1999, 6 bottles per lot

Château Mouton-Rothschild 1999
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden case
Tasting note: The beautiful 1999 Mouton Rothschild may be a modern day clone of their 1962 or 1985. Its saturated ruby/purple color is followed by sumptuous aromas of cedar wood, creme de cassis, wood smoke, coffee, and dried herbs. The wine is forward, lush, and full-bodied. It is already complex as well as succulent, fleshy, and long. Tannin in the finish suggests more nuances will emerge in 4-5 years. It is a complex, classic Mouton. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2030. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 140, April 2002.
