Parker about Château Mouton Rothschild double magnum 2020
The 2020 Mouton Rothschild is a striking wine and one that I regretted not purchasing en primeur as soon as it landed in my glass. Offering up complex aromas of minty cassis, pencil shavings, loamy soil, cigar wrapper, espresso roast and violets, it's medium to full-bodied, broad and layered, with terrific concentrated, beautifully refined tannins and a long, penetrating finish. Checking in at 12.8% alcohol, its incipient complexity, ineffable sense of completeness and exquisite balance mark it out as the purists' choice among the trio of 2018, 2019 and 2020. In this vintage, the lots that made it into the blend were largely confined to the core gravel terroirs that represent Mouton's heart, meaning that there's a little less to go around. This was the first vintage overseen by Mouton's new technical director, Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy, and he has begun with a flying start.
Suckling over Château Mouton Rothschild double magnum 2020
The purity of blackcurrants, blueberries, creme de cassis, and flowers. Hints of subtle spearmint. Iron. Blood orange. Medium-bodied with a compacted palate, like a cylinder of perfectly ripe fruit and fine tannins. A million layers of tight-grained tannins. It goes on and on. Such freshness and weightlessness to it. Ethereal. New classicism. Modern take on the 1986. 12.79% alcohol. 84% cabernet sauvignon, 13% merlot, 2% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot. Drink after 2030 but hard not to drink now.

Château Mouton Rothschild double magnum 2020
The 2020 Château Mouton Rothschild is an impressive wine from Pauillac, one of the most prestigious appellations in the Bordeaux region. As a Premier Grand Cru Classé, Mouton Rothschild is known for wines of exceptional quality that combine elegance, depth, and longevity.
The 2020 vintage is characterized by its dense, deep-dark color. On the nose, it displays a complex bouquet of blackcurrants, blackberries, and ripe plums, accompanied by notes of cedarwood, tobacco, graphite, and a subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is powerful and structured, with firm yet supple tannins and a lively acidity that lends it freshness and balance. The fruit notes are complemented by subtle hints of chocolate, coffee, and mineral undertones, lending the wine remarkable depth.
The finish is long, complex, and velvety, with a hint of toasted aromas, reflecting the excellent ripeness and processing of the grapes. The Château Mouton Rothschild 2020 is a magnificent vintage that, despite its youth, already offers a high degree of drinking pleasure, but also has enormous ageing potential, allowing it to mature and further gain complexity over decades.
