Description
Avec 84 hectares de vignes équilibrées entre 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc, l'élevage se fait en barriques (dont 70% bois neuf) pendant 12 à 15 mois.
Le nez du vin se dévoile sur des notes de mûres sauvages, de cèdre, d'épices relevées par une pointe mentholée apportant fraîcheur et complexité. La bouche est ample et se révèle avec beaucoup de puissance, les tanins sont denses et commencent tout juste à se fondre rendant le toucher de bouche à la fois crémeux et soyeux. La finale s'allonge avec grâce, laissant le souvenir de ce vin extrêmement séduisant sur de longues secondes.

Avis des Experts
James Suckling
"This accelerates on the palate with incredibly ripe tannins and finesse. Full body, roasted fruit, leather and grilled meat. Dried flowers, too. It shows superb tannin backbone and polish. Tight and youthful. Just starting to open. Currant and berry undertones with lead pencil are impressive. Better in 2018 but so delicious now."
The Wine Advocate
"The 2005 Château Mouton-Rothschild is a deeply impressive First Growth. It has been blessed with a sensational nose that comes racing out of the blocks with audacious scents of black fruit, cedar, smoke and pencil box (Philippe Dhalluin mentioned that the signature smokiness/fireside hearth was tangible in around 80% of the vats during élevage). There is a sense of bravura here, of aristocracy. The palate is medium-bodied with sumptuous black fruit, perhaps beginning to soften in texture, one or two years off its plateau. There are layers and layers of black fruit intermingling with graphite and black pepper, and it wisely reins everything in on the finish that is more classic in style and in keeping with the vintage. If you are fortunate enough to have this wine in your cellar, even though those tannins are starting to be abraded by time, afford it another five or six years. Tasted August 2016."
Wine Spectator
"Gorgeous, with singed alder and juniper notes starting to strut their stuff, while the immense core of steeped red currant, blackberry and plum fruit continues to wait in reserve. A light sanguine thread weaves in on the back end, which is driven by a serious bolt of iron. Shows terrific grip, length and cut. A brick-house Pauillac built for the long haul.--Non-blind Mouton-Rothschild vertical (March 2017). Best from 2020 through 2050."
