1995 Chateau Mouton Rothschild
Description
This bottle of Mouton ’95 was surprisingly disjointed on the nose and seemed to be cowering next to the ’96. The herbaceous element was more pronounced than anticipated, some lovely hot gravel and stony scents but missing the breeding of the following vintage. The palate is better with blackcurrant, cedar, graphite and slightly coarse tannins. This is like a car that cannot get out of second gear and yet, it seems like a very nice automobile. I would like to taste this again but on this showing, go ’96. Tasted February 2011. Neal Martin

Tasting note
1995年的武當牧羊人堡是波亞克魅力的典範。這款佳釀擁有深邃、濃郁的紅寶石色澤，吸引著每一位鑑賞者的目光。香氣宛如交響樂章，濃郁的黑果味道讓人聯想到納帕谷的赤霞珠，但又帶有波爾多特有的新鮮黑加侖子底蘊。口感層次豐富，雪松的香氣與尚未完全展開的果味交織在一起。結構堅實，帶有密實、有嚼勁的單寧和平衡的酸度，尾韻溫暖而持久。這款葡萄酒雖然已初露高貴血統，但時間將進一步彰顯其優雅。建議醒酒兩小時，讓酒體充分展現其複雜的風味。與烤羊肉、威靈頓牛排等濃郁菜餚相得益彰，也能提升成熟乳酪或松露佳餚的品味體驗。
The 1995 Chateau Mouton Rothschild is a testament to the grandeur of Pauillac. This vintage exudes a deep, dark ruby-red hue that captivates the eye. The bouquet is a symphony of intense black fruits, reminiscent of a Napa Cabernet, yet with a fresh cassis undertone that is distinctively Bordeaux. On the palate, it reveals a tapestry of complexity with cedary notes interwoven with a still-youthful fruit profile. The structure is defined by dense, chewy tannins and a balanced acidity, leading to a warm, prolonged finish. This wine, while already showing signs of its noble heritage, promises further elegance with time. Decanting for two hours is recommended to allow the wine to fully express its intricate character. It pairs exquisitely with robust dishes such as roast lamb or Beef Wellington, and can elevate the experience of mature cheeses or truffle-infused cuisine.
