| Medium wine red, rich centre, brightening on the outside, little sign of maturity. The bouquet explodes immediately with the roasted notes typical of Mouton, caramel, semi-white bread crust, coffee, then caramel and hazelnut notes, multi-layered and seductive. The nose is almost over-communicative. On the palate, there is quite a lot of melting, the tannins seem ripe, the flow is homogeneous and this Mouton seems to be in an unrestrained phase of enjoyment at the moment. Only the density is not quite on a par with the other Médoc premiers. This bottle: 18/20, the other 2001 Premier were stronger! (19/20). 17: An Imperial during a big bottle evening at the Vila Vita in Portugal. Sweet, erotic, caramel. A very slight hint of slightly greenish Cabernet on the palate. But somehow you get the feeling that this is exactly what belongs to it. (19/20). | |
