17 Rene Gabriel
Superbe Farbe, notierte ich 1988. In der Nase eine Vielzahl von typischen Pauillac-Aromen; Tabak, Minze, Schokolade, Punsch und brauner Rum, später in Minze und Wermutkraut drehend. Warmer Gaumenkontakt, Terroir und elegantes Leder, mittleres Extraktpotential mit rustikalem Finish. Ein weiteres, recht schönes Mouton-Erlebnis 1992: Orangenhaut (Kumquats); sehr intensiv, Stallnote, feiner Zimthauch, schokoladig, Nelken, extrem würzig mit defensiver Süsse, Minze, grünem Tee und exotischer Frucht (Patschuli). Pfeffriger Gaumenbeginn, feine stielige Aromen, konzentriertes Extrakt, mittlerer Körper, guter Nachklang. 1993 eine Flasche, die leicht über dem Zenit war: Von der Säure erhalten, Maggi- und Eisenkrautnoten, Torfgeschmack. 99: Noch sehr intaktes Weinrot, feiner Orangerand. Offenes, pilzig süsses Bouquet, noch immer gewisse Fruchtresten darin; die Nase ist sehr ansprechend und lädt feingliedrig aus. Im Gaumen schlank, leicht drahtige Textur, rote Früchte im Extrakt. Ein sehr gut erhaltener 52er, der sehr viel Freude macht. austrinken

While attractive, the sweet, spicy, gingery nose lacks ripeness of fruit. In the mouth, this wine exhibits structured, firm, medium-bodied flavors, good depth, but tough tannins and relatively high acidity in the finish. Although there is plenty of character, the wine finishes with a lean, rustic feel. Owners of the 1952 Mouton-Rothschild can easily cellar it for another ten or more years, but I doubt whether any more joy will emerge.
Producer
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.
