Wine Advocate # 153 (6/1/2004) Rating: 89 points Drink: 2013-2025
A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc, the opaque purple-colored, chunky 2001 Mouton-Rothschild does not possess the finesse and stature often achieved by this first-growth. It offers a tell-tale cassis-scented nose, and a monolithic, medium to full-bodied style with relatively high, austere tannin in the finish (a characteristics I also noticed in cask). A dry, angular, backward effort for the vintage, it should be forgotten for at least a decade. Let’s hope the fruit continues to expand and sweeten, but that’s no sure thing. - Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2004) Score: 94
Very smoky, with berry, coffee and tobacco aromas. Full-bodied, with polished velvety tannins, plenty of fruit and a cedary aftertaste. Tight and compacted. This is better than the 2000 Mouton. It's a baby 1986 Mouton. Solid and very, very fine. Persists for a long time on the palate. Best after 2009. –JS
Decanter Rating：
Huge colour, really intense and black, big tobaccoey nose with lots of cassis fruit, already explosive on the nose with great richness on the palate, but a firm structured finish. Will turn out very complex and perhaps finer than the more voluptuous 2000. |
