The 2015 Mouton Rothschild is a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc aged in 100% new oak with a mid-July 2017 bottling. Deep garnet-purple colored, this Mouton pulls off an incredibly impactful entrance, emerging from the glass with profound notes of blackberry preserves, plum pudding, crème de cassis and grilled meats, featuring perfectly accessorized accents of sandalwood, cinnamon stick and fenugreek with wafts of dried roses, unsmoked cigars and tilled soil. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is completely packed with rich, ripe black fruits sparked with blue and red fruit undertones and an incredible structure of very firm, very ripe tannins, with seamless freshness and an epically long, earth-laced finish. Possessing striking natural beauty framed by impeccable crafting, this 2015 is a total diva and well worth attention. Give it a good 7-8 years in bottle, at least, and drink it over the next 30+ years.

這款酒由82%的赤霞珠、16%的梅洛和3%的品麗珠混釀而成，一如既往地在100%新橡木桶中熟成。這款酒中的梅洛比例較高，釀酒師菲利普·多林說這是因?yàn)檫@年梅洛的品質(zhì)十分優(yōu)異。我等待了4、5分鐘才品嘗我的樣酒，因?yàn)檫@款酒一開始有些含蓄，但它最終散發(fā)出了無比濃郁優(yōu)美的香氣，包括黑莓、黑醋栗、香火和冷石板的味道，從一定程度上讓我想起了拉圖酒莊的葡萄酒。這款酒酒體中等，單寧柔和，酸度頗高但十分完美，張力良好，余味深刻。石墨的氣息貫穿始終，略顯顆粒感，所以需要陳年十年以上，品質(zhì)比肩1986年份和2010年份的這款酒。希望這款酒裝瓶后能在我的評(píng)分榜里保持前列。
