Description
By Tom Cannavan in 1997 (TC94)
Guest appearance for this newly arrived ’94. I thought this was really spectacular and eminently drinkable at this stage. Vibrantly purple/black with gorgeous dark roasted coffee bean and tobacco notes on the nose. Smooth as silk on the palate with opulent fruit and firm tannins evident. Very chewy, concentrated flavours though only medium bodied. Loaded with woody tannin in the finish, though these were not unpleasant and promise decent longevity for this wine.

The 1994 appears to be the finest Mouton-Rothschild made following the 1986 and before the 1995’s conception. The wine exhibits a dense, saturated purple color, followed by a classic Mouton nose of sweet black fruits intermingled with smoke, pain grillee, spice, and cedar. Medium to full-bodied, with outstanding concentration, a layered feel, plenty of tannin, and rich, concentrated fruit, this wine is similar to the fine 1988. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2025. By the way, the Dutch artist, Appel, has created a gorgeous label for the 1994. Although Mouton-Rothschild can be among the most inconsistent first-growths, when this estate gets everything right, the wine can be as compelling as any produced in Bordeaux.

Dark-colored, with intense aromas of blackberries, tar and spice, and toasted oak notes as well. Full-bodied, with very silky tannins and a chewy, ripe fruit-accented finish. An impressive Mouton
