The 2008 was another brilliant wine from Pauillac 1st Growth Mouton Rothschild which has been on top form this century. Founded in 1853, the deep gravel soils of this 90 hectare vineyard are perfect for growing Cabernet Sauvignon, which forms the backbone of this great red Bordeaux. Deep, powerful and rich, with explosive flavours of blackcurrant, cedar and wild cherry.

"Surprise, surprise! The 1998 Mouton has emerged as the greatest wine produced at this estate since the perfect 1986, of which the 1998 is somewhat reminiscent. Like many of its peers, it has filled out spectacularly. Now in the bottle, this opaque black.purple-coloured offering has increased in stature, richness, and size. A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc (57% of the production was utilised), it is an extremely powerful, super-concentrated wine offering notes of roasted espresso, crème de cassis, smoke, new saddle leather, graphite, and licorice. It is massive, with awesome concentration, mouth-searing tannin levels, and a saturated flavour profile that grips the mouth with considerable intensity. This is another 50-year Mouton, but patience will be required as it will not be close to drinkability for at least a decade. This wine rivals the 1996 and 1995. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2050" 96/100 Robert Parker 2001
