Mouton Rothschild Pauillac, France 2009 750ml Maconnais and crushed rocksDeep garnet colored, the 2009 Mouton Rothschild gives up bold earthy notions of underbrush, tilled soil and fungi over a core of crme de cassis, plum preserves and Indian spices with a waft of camphor. Full bodied with a firm, velvety tannin texture and packed with black fruit preserves and exotic spice layers, it has seamless freshness and a very long, decadently fruited finish. 99 Pts Robert Parker
