The consignor, a former wine buyer for over 100 restaurants across the past decade, developed his expertise through extensive travel and hands-on experience in the global wine industry. During his career, he was given several exceptional wines—some beyond his personal taste or price range. Now, he hopes these bottles will find a home with collectors who share the passion and means to appreciate them fully. Originally purchased from Willow Park Wines in Calgary, the wines were professionally stored in a temperature-controlled basement room, rotated three times per year. They have only ever been housed in two properties under consistent conditions, with the consignor taking great care to preserve them according to industry standards.
2013 Chateau Mouton Rothschild Pauillac from this lot has the following scores - Wine Enthusiast 96 points, James Suckling 95 points, The Wine Independent 94 points. This is the tasting note for 2013 Chateau Mouton Rothschild Pauillac from Robert Parker - The 2013 Mouton-Rothschild has a conservative, straight-laced, tobacco-stained bouquet, nicely defined but lacking genuine depth. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, balanced with tobacco and red berry fruit, moderate depth with touches of dried herbs lining the finish. I can imagine this becoming approachable within a couple of years and yet the pedigree of the terroir percolates through with aeration. While not a great Mouton-Rothschild by any stretch of the imagination, this is a strong effort in a difficult vintage.
2014 Chateau Mouton Rothschild Pauillac from this lot has the following scores - James Suckling 99 points, Vinous 97 points, Jeb Dunnuck 97 points, The Wine Independent 97 points. This is the tasting note for 2014 Chateau Mouton Rothschild Pauillac from Robert Parker - The 2014 Mouton-Rothschild was closed at first when I tasted the wine in bottle with winemaker Philippe Dhalluin. But as it transpires, this First Growth is just toying with you. Initially quite understated, it responds to aeration like a young child peeking from around a corner and then running out, waving its hands. It suddenly hits you with gorgeous black cherries, bilberry, cedar and wilted rose petal. The palate is medium-bodied with a silky smooth entry. This is utterly seductive- a wine without a hair out of place. It is not as powerful or as complex as the 2015 Mouton-Rothschild, yet the precision and focus here is beguiling. It will require five to seven years to absorb the 100% new oak, then it will be an utterly delicious and to use a term employed at en primeur, cerebral First Growth that is destined to give two or three decades of pleasure.
2015 Chateau Mouton Rothschild Pauillac from this lot has the following scores - James Suckling 99 points, Jeb Dunnuck 99 points, Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 99 points, The Wine Advocate 98 points, Wine Enthusiast 98 points, Decanter 98 points, Vinous 97 points, The Wine Independent 97 points. This is the tasting note for 2015 Chateau Mouton Rothschild Pauillac from Robert Parker - The 2015 Mouton Rothschild is a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc aged in 100% new oak with a mid-July 2017 bottling. Deep garnet-purple colored, this Mouton pulls off an incredibly impactful entrance, emerging from the glass with profound notes of blackberry preserves, plum pudding, crème de cassis and grilled meats, featuring perfectly accessorized accents of sandalwood, cinnamon stick and fenugreek with wafts of dried roses, unsmoked cigars and tilled soil. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is completely packed with rich, ripe black fruits sparked with blue and red fruit undertones and an incredible structure of very firm, very ripe tannins, with seamless freshness and an epically long, earth-laced finish. Possessing striking natural beauty framed by impeccable crafting, this 2015 is a total diva and well worth attention. Give it a good 7-8 years in bottle, at least, and drink it over the next 30+ years.

This is the tasting note for 2016 Chateau Mouton Rothschild Pauillac from Robert Parker - with a score of 100. Composed of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2016 Mouton Rothschild has an opaque garnet-purple color. WOW—the nose explodes from the glass with powerful blackcurrant cordial, black raspberries, blueberry pie and melted chocolate notions, plus suggestions of aniseed, camphor, lifted kirsch and the faintest waft of a subtle floral perfume in the background. Full-bodied, concentrated, bold and totally seductive in the mouth, it has very fine-grained, silt-like tannins, while jam-packed with tightly wound fruit layers, finishing in this wonderful array of mineral sparks. Magic.
