More exciting 2020 releases came out of Bordeaux today starting with none other than the potentially-perfect First Growth Mouton Rothschild which may very well be THE wine of the vintage. If you haven't read the Vintage Report yet, let us give you the notes on Mouton from Andy Lench, founder and CEO of Bordeaux Wine Locators, our importer, from his 36th year tasting Bordeaux from barrel:
This is the greatest barrel sample of Mouton I have ever experienced. This wine will surely compare with the great 1959,1961,1982,1986 and 2016, and dare I even say 1945, one of the greatest wines of the last century. It is rare that one is moved by a wine, considering that, after all, it is our business, and we taste thousands of wines every year. But when a wine bowls you over, you are left stunned. This is honestly one of the best barrel samples of an infant Bordeaux I have ever tasted. Sorry cannot give an unfinished wine 100 Points but mortgage the house to get some of this wine.
Coming from Saint Julien, we are thrilled to offer the 98-99 point Ducru-Beaucaillou, another one of 2020's undisputed stars, which is celebrating its 300th vintage with a special label.
Also in Saint Julien and celebrating 100 years under the Cuvelier family with a special bottle, one of our over-achievers for the vintage is the 96-97 point Leoville Poyferre that's "cut from the same cloth as the 2016".
Finally we are also pleased to offer a very limited reload of the 96-97 point Malescot St Exupery which exhibits "controlled opulence" - act fast before it sells out again..!
Don't miss this opportunity to secure your allocations at the opening prices.
Our Futures Landing Page includes our Wines of the Vintage, Over-Achievers, and Value Drinkers, while it continues to be updated with new wines daily. We'll continue sending offers on the most compelling wines as they are released...stay tuned!
