{"product_id":"chateau-mouton-rothschild-premier-grand-cru-classe-pauillac-2005","title":"Château Mouton Rothschild Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac 2005","description":"\u003cp\u003ePhilippe Dhalluin, who joined Mouton Rothschild in 2003 and became technical director the following year, has described 2005 as his first truly great vintage, a wine that finally showed what he could do with this extraordinary raw material. The 2005 blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, and 1% Cabernet Franc was aged entirely in new French oak, and at 13.2% alcohol it represented one of the highest levels ever achieved at the estate. The label features Italian artist and sculptor Giuseppe Penone's meditation on the vine-grower's \"green fingers,\" the vine leaf extending from a splayed hand that will soon close around a glass of Mouton. Jeb Dunnuck awarded the 2005 a perfect 100, Decanter 99, Wine Spectator 98, James Suckling 98, Wine Advocate 98, Vinous 97, and Wine Enthusiast 95. It has been compared to a modern-day 1955 and described as a tannic, backward, concentrated wine built for the ages, now emerging magnificently from its long cocoon: crème de cassis, melted asphalt, roasted espresso, and cedarwood on the nose, massively rich and opulent on the palate, with building yet sweet tannins and a finish that lingers for close to a minute. Farr Vintners' Neal Martin called it one of the most textured, seamless wines out there. Just beginning its adolescence, with a drinking window stretching through 2065 and beyond. The price here is incredible for a Mouton of this vintage and caliber. These are a rare opportunity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"First Bottle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53443062595881,"sku":"1014907","price":725.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/2706\/8457\/files\/ChateauMoutonRothschildPremierGrandCruClassePauillac2005_1014907_FB_Rack.jpg?v=1790353164","url":"https:\/\/firstbottlewines.com\/products\/chateau-mouton-rothschild-premier-grand-cru-classe-pauillac-2005","provider":"First Bottle Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
