2002 Chateau Mouton Rothschild
Description
Dense purple to the rim, this wine exhibits the classic cassis aroma that is so characteristic of Mouton. Medium to full-bodied, tannic, powerful, and cut somewhat from the 1988 mold, this is a backward, chewy, well-endowed Mouton-Rothschild that will require considerable patience from those who purchase it. A blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, the wine needs a good decade of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030+.

Tasting note
2002年的武當羊牌展現了波亞克的宏偉風範。酒體呈現中等至深的紅寶石色澤，散發出令人陶醉的黑加侖子和黑櫻桃香氣，並帶有豪華的新橡木椰香。口感柔和、中等酒體，新香草橡木的味道與酒的天然平衡和濃度相映成趣。新鮮的酸度和平衡的酒精含量為這款酒增添了優雅的結構，而收尾則以合理的長度延續，留下精緻的印象。
The 2002 Chateau Mouton Rothschild is a testament to the grandeur of Pauillac. With a medium to deep ruby-red hue, this wine exudes opulent aromas of cassis and black cherry, complemented by a luxurious overlay of coconutty new oak. The palate is greeted with a supple and mid-weight texture, where new vanilla oak notes dance with the wine's inherent balance and concentration. Fresh acidity and balanced alcohol contribute to the wine's elegant structure, while the finish extends with reasonable length, leaving a lasting impression of finesse.
