From Mouton Rothschild’s Cellar to Yours

From Mouton Rothschild’s Cellar to Yours

Forests were felled writing about the glory of Bordeaux’s 2005 vintage, and that season was especially kind to Mouton Rothschild’s swanky neighborhood: The spring after harvest, Decanter declared it to be “definitely a Pauillac year.” Now, nearly fifteen years into its life, the 2005 Mouton Rothschild is just hitting its stride.

The wine behind the label by Italian sculptor Giuseppe Penone is a “deeply impressive First Growth,” according to Wine Advocate, which praised its “bravura,” “aristocracy,” and “sensational nose that comes racing out of the blocks with audacious scents of black fruit, cedar, smoke and pencil box.” 

Enamored with its “layers and layers of black fruit intermingling with graphite and black pepper,” the Advocate recommended giving the wine another 5-6 years. That was back in 2016, which means that the ‘05 should be hitting its stride shortly, and ready for you to give it an early debut. Or of course, another long slumber in your cellar.
