20 Rene Gabriel
Sehr tiefe Farbe, noch immer gewisse jugendliche Reflexe. Zu Beginn leicht flüchtige Säure mit Cassis- und Brombeeren durchsetzt; die Nase ist explosiv und verschwenderisch, Dörrpflaumen, Tawny Port. Im Gaumen ein perfekt gereifter Wein mit einer, noch immer ungestümen Adstringenz, Mandelcornets und gebranntem Zucker von der Extraktsüsse her, die pfeffrige Säure legt laufend zu. Ein gewaltiger Wein, der sanft trockene Tannine in sich birgt, was ihm aber noch zu weiterem Leben verhilft. © René Gabriel, 2013

I have never had anything but extraordinary, decadent, fabulously rich, concentrated bottles of the 1947 Mouton-Rothschild. The exotic, ostentatious bouquet of ginger, mint, coffee, cedar, and gobs of cassis fruit is followed by a syrupy, viscously-textured, thick, juicy Mouton that is bursting with fruit. Although drinkable since I first tasted it over a decade ago, it exhibits no signs of fruit loss or color deterioration. It is one of the most exotic and opulent Mouton-Rothschilds I have ever tasted. Last tasted 7/97.

Texture has turned coarse, but the cedar, mint and tobacco flavors are vibrant. Not much fruit left, but it's still a real mouthful of wine.--1947 horizontal. HS

Château Mouton Rothschild
Unique among the Bordeaux First Growths, Château Mouton Rothschild has been the only estate to join its high ranking after the famed 1855 Classification. In 1973, Baron Philippe de Rothschild successfully lobbied for the château, resulting in their Premiers Crus status that we know today. While their wines continuously reign top of the Classified Growths, their opulence and approachability paired with dark cassis notes, and powerful tannins has stayed true to their premium blending style. Baron Philippe said it perfectly, upon their elevated rank, “Premier je suis. Second je fus. Mouton ne change”, meaning “First I am. Second I was. Mouton does not change.” For many years, the estate was run by his daughter and art enthusiast, Baroness Philippine until her passing in 2014. Thanks to her, iconic artists like Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Keith Haring and Georges Braque have designed several labels for various vintages. In addition to their famous flagship, Mouton Rothschild, and their second label, Le Petit Mouton, a smaller production of a premium white, Aile d’Argent is also tempting.
