Critical opinion

The wine has been highly praised by critics. Neal Martin rated it 96-98 points, noting it was a, “less exuberant and lavish Mouton Rothschild” than it used to be in the 1990s. “As smooth as Snoop Dogg’s flow, this is a marvelous Mouton,” he concluded.

Antonio Galloni also rated it 96-98, saying it was, “a wine of unreal elegance and finesse”.

“It’s this gently teasing, achingly beautiful restraint that collectors are not going to want to miss,” noted Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW (97-99), while Jane Anson (98-points) said it was a wine she could see being elevated to 100-points “after ageing”.

Summary

Although the 2020 is above our expected release price – however the positive appraisal of the First Growths this vintage means that there will undoubtedly be interest in this release.
