Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1er Cru 1993

Lobenberg: Dunkles Purpurrot. Süßes Aroma von Cassis, pain grille und gerösteten Nüssen. Mittlerer Körper, volle Frucht, süß, reif, reintönig, ausgefeilt, hervorragend balanciert.

Suckling: Mouton's great winemaking comes to the fore in this wine in the face of the difficult year of 1993. It's a surprisingly substantial Bordeaux for such a wet growing season, even now displaying strong blackberries and mint flavors. Full-bodied with tannins that are just coming around. 90/100 (2017)

Robert Parker: After less than persuasive performances in two potentially great years, 1989 and 1990, Mouton-Rothschild appears to have settled down, producing fine efforts in recent vintages, culminating with the enormously promising, unquestionably profound 1995. The 1993 is a beautifully made wine which could be considered a sleeper of the vintage. The wine boasts a dark purple color, followed by a sweet, pain grillee, roasted nut, and cassis-scented bouquet that is just beginning to open. In the mouth, the wine may not possess the body and volume of a vintage such as 1990 or 1989, but there is more richness of fruit, a sweet, ripe, pureness to the wine, as well as medium body and outstanding balance. 90/100
