WEINWISSER: "93 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 7 % Merlot, Alkohol 12.9 vol %. Verführerisches Elixier, edle Cassiswürze vermischt sich mit zartem Veilchenparfüm, Estragon, rote Pflaumen und Granatapfelkerne. Am sublimen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, engmaschigem Tanningerüst, dann hebt sich die Rasse sanft unter den trainierten Körper und verleiht der Delikatesse Länge. Im konzentrierten, feinaromatischen Finale rotbeerig, sehr fokussiert, wird immer länger, feinkörnige Adstringenz. Ein Cabernet-geprägter Mouton, wirkt für mich in diesem Jahr diskreter als sonst, wird noch zulegen."

JAMES SUCKLING: "This shows plenty of drive with dusty and creamy tannins that run the length of the wine and builds at the end. It’s medium-bodied showing a focus and energy. Dark currants and flowers flavor. This really has length and it has the depth to improve with age. 93% cabernet sauvignon and 7% merlot."

VINUM: "Dunkles Rubinrot; die Mouton-typische Rauchigkeit in Kombination mit Mokka, Veilchen, Marzipan, Brombeeren und Cassis, ein Cabernet-Duft wie aus dem Bilderbuch; am Gaumen dicht, kompakt, die Tannine sind wie Samt und Seide, die Frucht ist knackig, sehr gute Länge, grosse Harmonie. Ein verspielter, eleganter Mouton von sehr hoher Qualität."

DECANTER: "Sweet blackcurrants, orange rind, violets, plums, cherry cream and some liquorice. Round and filling, this is dense and intense with prominent tannins, a juicy core and lots of structure. It’s forward and really intense with fine, mineral-edged tannins. Sophisticated and really generous, ample and persistent with such a fleshy mouthfeel. Zero wood. This is just brilliant - fresh, lively, zingy and ample. Lovely finesse too. There’s acidity for sure, but there’s creaminess to counter it. A marvelous Mouton. Ageing 100% new barrels, 18 months. 3.71pH."

JEB DUNNUCK: "One of the wines of the vintage, if not the wine of the vintage, the 2024 Château Mouton Rothschild checks in as a blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Merlot, hitting 12.9% alcohol and a pH of 3.71, that's resting in 100% new barrels. It sports a dense purple hue as well as absolutely rocking aromatics of blackcurrants, freshly sharpened pencils, graphite, and smoked tobacco. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has a layered, opulent mouthfeel, velvety tannins, ample mid-palate depth, and a great finish. It's an incredible achievement in the vintage that will need just 4-6 years of bottle age and have a broad, lengthy drinking window. Hats off to technical director Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy and the entire Mouton team."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feines Cassis, schwarze Kirschen, Orangenblüten, Nougat, sehr einladendes Bukett. Stoffig, schwarze Kirschen, reife, seidige Tannine, finessenreich strukturiert, zeigt eine sehr gute Länge, ein balancierter, delikater Mouton mit 12,9 % Alkohol, ein echtes Zukunftsversprechen."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Cigar box, flowers, black currants, blackberries, espresso, licorice, spice box, and forest leaves initiate the wine's complex aromatics. On the palate, the wine is almost creamy, exhibiting freshness, energy, length, and purity. This upbeat wine is chalky, complex, and enhanced with sweetness, an array of spices, and more of those juicy, fresh currants in the refreshing, mint-tinged finish. I particularly enjoy the Indian spice notes that emerge at the backend of the finish. The wine consists of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Merlot. Only 2010 had a higher percentage of Cabernet in the blend. 12.9% ABV, 3.77 pH. 44.5% of the harvest was placed into the Grand Vin. The harvest took place September 23 - October 5. Drink from 2030-2060."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: "Deep garnet-purple colored. Needs a little shaking to wake up notes of kirsch, black cherries, and fresh black currant, giving way to nuances of garrigue, iris, and crushed rocks with a hint of lavender oil. The light to medium-bodied palate is wonderfully elegant and fresh with ripe, fine-grained tannins and well-sustained fruit, finishing on a lingering minerally note."

ANSON: "Savoury and juicy, this is full of crushed rose petals, generosity of spirit even if it shows the austerity of the vintage, wrapped by bitter chocolate, cloves and spiced rosemary. Slate texture, delicious and understated, with clear ageing capacity. 3.71ph,give a good eight to ten years before drinking. Harvest 23 September to 5 October. 3.71 pH. 100% new oak."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Harvested between September 23 and October 5, the 2024 Mouton Rothschild is a blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Merlot that attained 12.9% alcohol. Offering up aromas of crème de cassis, cigar wrapper and pencil shavings, it's medium to full-bodied, dense and layered, with a muscular, monolithic style built around austere, chalky tannins. Somewhat reminiscent of the estate's 2001 vintage (which is just coming around today at age 24), this structured, youthfully angular Mouton will require patience."

JANCIS ROBINSON: "Deep purple hue. Purity on the nose with notes of dark fruit and spice. Rich and full for the vintage with a fine grain of tannin. Structured and long. Good potential."
