Mouton Rothschild 2002 Impériale 6L.

The 2002 Mouton Rothschild is rich purple to the rim, and it has the traditional Mouton cassis scent. This is a backward, chewy, well-endowed Mouton-Rothschild that will require considerable patience from those who purchase it. Medium to full-bodied, tannic, powerful, and cut somewhat from the 1988 mold, this is a backward, chewy, well-endowed Mouton-Rothschild that will require considerable patience from those who purchase it. The wine, which is made up of 78 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 12 percent Merlot, 9 percent Cabernet Franc, and 1 percent Petit Verdot, will need at least a decade to mature.
