Wine Advocate # 164 (4/1/2006) Rating: 95 points Drink: 2012-2040+
Backward, powerful, and extremely tannic, the dense purple-colored 2003 Mouton-Rothschild, a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, fashioned from yields of 28 hectoliters per hectare, with a finished alcohol of 12.9%, improves dramatically with aeration. With full-bodied, meaty, powerful, dry flavors as well as a huge finish. During its sojourn in barrel, it reminded me of a hypothetical blend of the 1982 and 1986 Moutons, but since bottling, it appears different, and even more tannic than those two vintages. I still believe the finest recent Mouton-Rothschild is the 2000. - Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (4/5/2004) Score: 95-100
Complex aromas of blackberries, citrus and tobacco. Currants. Subtle nose yet complex. You have to look under the surface. Full-bodied, with a big core of ripe fruit and super ripe tannins. Thick and powerful. Chewy. Tannins come out of hiding and lash out on the finish.
Decanter Rating：
Fine Cabernet fruit, and intense without heaviness. Good fruit with decent depth, well-rounded tannins and fair acidity. Great balance and length. Drink 2011-26. |
