Expert tasting note: (2004 vintage) "Medium to deep ruby-red color is almost opaque. The aromas are classic for Mouton-Rothschild, combining rich, pure cassis fruit with wonderful clean cedary oak. The palate is laden with fresh cassis/blackcurrant fruit. The fine tannic structure combines suppleness & grip harmoniously, the rich fruit being lifted well by fresh acidity. The wine is medium to full bodied, but not heavy. Alcohol is balanced & the finish is long complex & very harmonious." - 11/08 DCAMW

The Château Mouton Rothschild vineyard, mostly situated on a hillock called the “Plateau de Mouton” which rises to 27m above sea-level, is planted on very deep gravelly soil with the varieties typical of the region: Cabernet Sauvignon (81%), Merlot (15%), Cabernet Franc (3%) and Petit Verdot (1%). These proportions are not reflected identically in the wine, because the blend varies according to the character of each vintage. However, Cabernet Sauvignon always predominates: it is Cabernet Sauvignon that gives Mouton its rich tannins, its wealth of aroma and flavour and its ageing capacity, while Merlot, an inseparable companion, brings suppleness, roundness and exceptional length. As with other top Médoc wines, the vineyard is densely planted – 10,000 vines per hectare – and the average age of the vines is around 44 years.

2004 will remain in the memory as the driest year since 1962, with only 560 mm of rainfall. The drought conditions began during the winter and continued throughout the spring and summer, though some rainfall in August gave the vines the water they needed and favoured veraison. Glorious weather in September enabled the Merlots to reach full maturity and picking began on 29 September. The grapes were rich in polyphenols and showed excellent sugar concentration. The rest of the harvest was delayed in order to encourage all the aromatic potential of a highly promising vintage. Picking in the best parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon resumed in exceptionally sunny conditions and higher than average temperatures and harvesting was completed on 15 October.

The wine has a strong, dark and deep colour, while the nose displays subtle complexity on fruity notes of black cherry, candied quince and liquorice with touches of cold smoke, revealing very well-integrated oak. The attack is rich and full, with precise, refined tannins that elegantly enfold mocha flavours and toasted notes, leading into a close-knit and flavourful finish with attractive, very fresh length. A distinctive and stylish wine.

Vintage quality: Good
Current condition: Ready to drink
The 2004 vintage for Bordeaux was relatively good.
The growing season began with a pleasantly mild spring, which was ideal for both budburst and flowering. The balmy conditions inevitably spurred vegetative growth and producers had to be careful when it came to managing ...
