  The Wine Cellar Insider
  The nose steals your focus with its showy display of truffles, cigar boxes, spices, black and blue fruits, and dried flowers. However, it is the palate that steals the show with its ostentatious, flamboyant, velvet, and cashmere-textured display of red and black fruits. The wine continues to build in intensity as it expands in every direction on your palate. The seamless finish lasts beyond the 60-second mark, inspiring you to take another sniff and sip to enjoy the pleasure you find again and again. This is a future legendary wine from Mouton Rothschild. The wine blends 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot, with an ABV of 14%. Drink from 2030-2070."

  Bottled in June of 2024, the 2022 Château Mouton Rothschild checks in as classic blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot that was raised all in new barrels. Incredibly concentrated yet light on its feet and graceful, this inky-hued beauty has sensational notes of cassis, graphite, crushed stone, and chocolate that are to die for. It shows the ripe, opulent style of the vintage yet brings sensational purity, loads of tannins, and a gorgeous finish. For the tech geeks out there, this hit 14% alcohol, a pH of 3.86, and an IPT (tannins) of 76. It has the depth of fruit and texture to offer incredible pleasure even today, yet it deserves a decade of bottle age and will evolve for 50-60 years. It reminds me of a mix of the 2009 and 2010."

  Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Schwarze Waldbeeren, feines Cassis, Herzkirschen, zart nach Nelken und orientalischen Gewürzen, süßer Tabak, facettenreiches Bukett. Stoffig, saftig, angenehme Süße im Kern, seidige, aber tragende Tannine, die dem Wein große Länge geben, zart nach Nougat, mineralischer Anklang im Abgang, ein Vin de Garde, bereits heute nahezu perfekt, wird sich aber noch aromatisch verbreitern. Ein sicheres Zukunftsversprechen."

  92 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 8 % Merlot, pH 3.89, 14 Vol.-%. Ein betörendes vielschichtiges Bouquet, ungeheuer raffiniert, frisch gepflückte Schattenmorelle, roter Johannisbeernektar, edle Cassiswürze und Menthol. Im zweiten Ansatz Alpenheidelbeere, Graphit und Milchschokolade. Am königlichen Gaumen mit einer Textur wie Samt und Seide mit einer herrlich seidig-süßen Tannintextur, vereint auf unvergleichliche Art und Weise tänzerische Rasse mit extrem verführerischem Charme und Stil, ist der Wein im Médoc, der bei Chefredakteur Giuseppe Lauria direkt die Glocke der Traumnote 20/20 hat klingeln lassen. Im kaskadenartigen, ewig langen Finale mit schwarzbeerigen Konturen, tiefschürfender Terroirwürze und erhabener Adstringenz. "Die Intensität der alten Mouton Cabernet-Sauvignon-Stöcke sind das Geheimnis" fasst Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy lächelnd zusammen. Dafür kann es nur die Bestnote geben. Das ist für uns dieses Jahr der beste Pauillac!"

  Wow. The aromas here are so complete with blackcurrants, asphalt, violets, lead pencil, orange blossoms and black truffles. A perfect nose. It's full-bodied yet tied down with seamless tannins that run the length of the wine and give such a seductive mouthfeel and persistence. A vintage with one of the highest percentages of cabernet sauvignon ever. Quintessential, great Bordeaux with no limits. Drink after 2028."

  Inky colour, cassis, cocoa bean, cocoa dusting, crushed rose petals, juice, pep, focus and crystalline character, a serious wine that will power for decades, intense and concentrated but with an oyster shell minerality, delicious quality. A great example of how brilliant Cabernet Sauvignon can be in this part of the world, and why it sets the benchmark globally. This is unquestionably one of the wines of the vintage. Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy director. 49% of production in the Grand Vin, 27% Petit Mouton. 100% new barrels for ageing, harvest September 1 to 26."

  Decanter
  Spicy liquorice, bitter chocolate, tobacco, cigar, and aniseed on the nose. Round and bright, with juicy, delicate fruit and velvety tannins. Super concentrated yet graceful, layering ripeness, freshness, and stoniness. Controlled power - soft in texture but packed with Cabernet structure. Starts juicy and creamy, then surges with depth and length. Sweet black fruit meets cool, steely minerality, giving complexity and definition. Black liquorice on a sticky finish. Bold for Mouton but outstanding, this is going to deliver for decades. 3.68pH. Ageing 100% new oak."

  The blend is 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot, and the élevage was in 100% new oak for 18 months. A glorious nose, so pure, with powdered chalk, incense and sandalwood, with a little dark curranty fruit lingering behind it all, as well as a fragrant little lift of mint and white flowers. A beautiful palate, polished and complete, filling every corner of the mouth with polished dark blackcurrant fruits, damson, olive and liquorice, with gentle seams of tobacco and toast, with a very complete and deeply buried core of tightly knit tannins which provide a beautiful structural frame for this dark fruit, while remaining demurely in the background. This is just beautiful, so complete, with spine-tingling integration and harmony, and such finesse of structure. So long too, those tobacco and cedar notes intertwined here with the long, tight-knit tannins. A fabulous Mouton, with brilliant potential;it seems a fitting tribute to Baron Philippe who arrived at the estate in 1922, as depicted on 2022 label art. The alcohol is 13.82% on analysis, and 14% on the label."

  Big and bold, this is a classic Mouton, with the difference of acidity and freshness. The wine's structure shows some powerful tannins, giving richness balanced by a crisp touch at the end."

  Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated and it shows. Lovely cassis fragrance with a twist of spice. Palate truly amazing - suave, sensual but packed with polished tannin. Enough lift to provide freshness as well as light and shade. Powerful and clearly for the very long term. A modern 1986?"

  The Wine Advocate
  The 2022 Mouton Rothschild is one of the most muscular, almost brutally powerful wines of the vintage. Unfurling in the glass with aromas of dark berries, plums and sweet crème de cassis mingled with notions of espresso roast, pencil lead and petroleum jelly, it's full-bodied, dense and concentrated, with huge reserves of tannin and fruit. A blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot that represents 49% of the estate's production, this is a prodigious Mouton that's built for the cellar."
