07 Mouton Rothschild

After tasting this four first growth's side by side, I could not help to find how typical of their heritage and style each were. Some will I'm shure miss some body and fruit in this vintage, but have a more carefull look at the flavours, they are so seductive and nuanced in this vintage. I do not think they are for the long haul, but they will give great pleasure over the next twenty years, maybe more, just look at the 78's and 79's now, many of them are in the leaner, but very layerd style....and this is probably way better than those with today's winemaking knowledge.

2007 Chateau Mouton Rothschild;
Deep ruby, bright ruby rim, green peppers, leather, blackberries, tobacco, complex and seductive. Great mouthfeel, mouthwatering, balanced, tannins are ripe, fruit is flattering and again this layered feel, very elegant and a fantastic length. 91
