CHATEAU MOUTON ROTHSCHILD 2002 |

Château Mouton Rothschild 2002 Pauillac, 1er Cru ClasséLot 100: Excellent levels and appearance, Lot 101: Excellent levels and appearance, Lot 102: Excellent levels and appearance, Lot 103: Excellent levels and appearance apart from 2 labels very slightly nickedLabel Artist: Ilya Kabakov In 2018, a wonderfully 'Yes, top Pauillac' nose, with lots of smoky blackcurrants. Just textbook Mouton, even 'blind', but the vintage was more difficult to fix as it combined vibrant fruit with tannins that appear to be ripe. It may never develop 'complexity' (how funny we worship this in wine, but find puzzling in people!), but this is a real mouthful of top quality terroir and brilliantly managed material. It gave immense pleasure with smoked pork belly - go try it.
