About Château Mouton Rothschild 2007
Original wooden case of 1 bottle (1x75cl)

Tasted at the Mouton-Rothschild vertical in London, the 2007 Mouton-Rothschild is inevitably going to have two tough acts to follow in the form of 2005 and 2006, although it puts in a very decent effort. Here it has a strong pencil lead scent on the nose. There is less fruit intensity than the 2006, dialed down not one but two or three notches, although it develops attractive undergrowth scents. The palate is actually reminiscent of a Graves. It feel well balanced, a little saline and quite earthy, though I noticed it tapering in towards the finish that might have been exaggerated, juxtaposed against other regal vintages. It is a Mouton that will drink earlier than others, though that is not necessarily a bad thing for those that prefer not to wait forever. Tasted May 2016.
