2014 Château Mouton Rothschild

In 1973, Château Mouton Rothschild became the last of the Chateau to make the "1st growth" list of the Classification of 1855. The others of course being Lafite Rothschild, Latour, Haut-Brion, and Margaux. The 19th Century slight lent to the quote: "First, I cannot be. Second, I do not deign to be. Mouton I am," which then changed in 1973 to: "First, I am. Second, I used to be. Mouton does not change.." in the end, the wine has always been highly sought after. Of the 5, Château Mouton Rothschild is said to produce the most opulent and richest of wines. This 2014 offering absolutely hits that mark and at the 10 year mark, it delivering on all cylinders. Powerful and opulent from nose to a long luscious finish. This one is pretty close to perfect.
