Mouton 2009, 750ml [WA 99] [6 Bottle OWC]

The 2009 Château Mouton Rothschild from Pauillac in Bordeaux is a monumental First Growth, presented here in a pristine six-bottle Original Wooden Case (OWC) ideal for the serious collector. Rated a staggering 99+ points by Robert Parker, who declared it "one of the greatest young Moutons of all time," this vintage captures the flamboyant and exotic soul of the estate in a year of unparalleled richness. It offers a hedonistic bouquet of crème de cassis, Asian spices, and incense, leading to a palate that Parker described as having a "sensational, unctuous texture" and "extraordinary intensity." This is a profound, architectural wine that balances massive fruit weight with a velvety, seamless finish that lasts for minutes.

While the generous fruit makes it surprisingly approachable now, this is a fifty-year wine that is just beginning to unfold its true potential, making this OWC a perfect acquisition for long-term cellaring.
