The beautiful 1999 Mouton Rothschild may be a modern day clone of their 1962 or 1985. Its saturated ruby/purple color is followed by sumptuous aromas of cedar wood, creme de cassis, wood smoke, coffee, and dried herbs. The wine is forward, lush, and full-bodied. It is already complex as well as succulent, fleshy, and long. Tannin in the finish suggests more nuances will emerge in 4-5 years. It is a complex, classic Mouton.

Delivers sweet tobacco and plum aromas, with a lovely richness. Full-bodied, featuring lots of cedar, tobacco, chocolate and berry character. Long and silky in the palate. There is no sense in waiting; this is so delicious now. - '89/'99 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2009). Drink now. 20,165 cases made. Score: 91 James Suckling, Wine Spectator |

Sweet and lively and lean and a little tart. Fine but not ineluctably first growth standard. A bit stolid and simple. Score: 17 Jancis Robinson MW, Jancisrobinson.com Maturity: 2009-2017 |

Full medium ruby. Currant, meat, mocha and grilled nuts on the nose. Lush, sweet and smooth, with just enough vinosity to maintain its balance. A vin de plaisir whose lovely fruit and sweet, harmonious tannins make it very easy to taste today (the chateau carried out a gentler, shorter extraction in '99). But doesn't have quite the length or grip of a top year. Score: 90 Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar |
