2004 Chateau Mouton Rothschild
Description
Last tasted three or four years ago, the 2004 Mouton-Rothschild is a satisfactory wine, even if in my opinion it pales again subsequent success in so-called "challenging" vintages such as 2006 or 2008. It came across tight and broody on the nose, a hint of seaweed tincturing the black fruit, later on a whiff of smoke. It does not feel as refined as either the 2004 Lafite-Rothschild or the 2004 Latour. The palate is medium-bodied and shows more class than the aromatics: cohesive and with just the right amount of grip, a little chewy perhaps but with a pleasant saline sensation towards the "correct" finish. It ticks all the boxes but does not go that extra mile. Tasted September 2016.

The 2004 Chateau Mouton Rothschild is a distinctive and stylish wine with a strong, dark, and deep color. The nose displays subtle complexity with fruity notes of black cherry, candied quince, and liquorice, complemented by touches of cold smoke and well-integrated oak. The attack is rich and full, with precise, refined tannins that elegantly enfold mocha flavors and toasted notes, leading into a close-knit and flavorful finish with attractive, very fresh length. This wine is a testament to the exceptional terroir and meticulous winemaking of Chateau Mouton Rothschild.
