More acidity than in 1989, with great projected fruit. Emphatic and cigary. This is a keeper. Glorious freshness from magnum in 2012, with excellent structure. SS. Lot 87 12 bts (owc) per lot: USD 3000-4000 Mouton, as it is affectionately known by all its devotees, is the most opulent and exuberant of all the Firsts, a reflection of the two huge personalities that have headed the Chateau since 1920, Baron Philippe and then Baroness Philippine de Rothschild. The great cassis depths of this wine seduce everyone who appreciates the finest Bordeaux. It is a gloriously forceful, flamboyant wine, voluptuous and powerful. Philippe Dhalluin, Mouton's talented Technical Director, has been at the Chateau since the harvest of 2003 and the stunning beauty of the wines has been further strengthened by meticulous attention to detail in vineyard and cellar.
