Aile d'Argent, Chateau Mouton Rothschild

Mangue, ananas, pamplemousse, pipi de chat, première bouche grasse, ample, finale sur la texture et les amers. Complexité et persistance. Franchement bon!

2017 vintage

Now at eight years of age, the 2017 Aile d’Argent Blanc from Château Mouton Rothschild is shining beautifully. It greets you with a radiant straw-yellow color and an inviting bouquet of exotic fruits, where ripe lychee, guava and even a hint of banana mingle with notes of white peach and citrus. On the palate, those vibrant flavors carry through in a medium to full-bodied wine with a smooth, almost creamy texture, balanced by lively acidity that gives it energy and …

2017 vintage

Popped and poured. Greengages, tropical notes. Full bodied, rich yet refreshing with citrus notes to the finish.

2017 vintage

Fruity and floral, relatively full bodied. Good length. Worked well with secreto iberico.

2017 vintage

Rich and aromatic with ripe fruit. Smooth and full-bodied, with a hint of bitterness on the finish that adds some nice complexity. Silky texture and a long, lingering finish. 92-93

This was such a surprise. Rich. Decadent. Full of body and great fruit. I was simply stunned by how good this wine is. Wow!! Truly, wow!!

2017 vintage

Bees wax along with fruit of gooseberry and lychee as well as an apple cider dimension. Creamy texture with emerging crisp acidity. This drinks well now, no signs of premix which I found a common issue with the 2015, but also the 2017 did feel somewhat advanced. Maybe 5 year window tops from here I reckon.

2017 vintage

Passion fruit, lychee, banana, lemon tart, white flowers. Well balanced and elegant expression of Bordeaux Blanc. Good density and weight here with excellent concentration of fruit. I’ve always found this cuvee to have hit the sweet spot of how I like my Bordeaux Blancs to be; ripe, exotic, but not overbearing.

Very different than my previous bottles. This is certainly past peak and showing significant oxidation. However, even with that in mind it is still good. A very complex and fun wine to drink.

1993 vintage

Drinking better than the reds tonight. Great acidity. Citrus, grapefruit, lemon. Long finish. More restrained than the 2018

2017 vintage

A very nice white. Paired well with Moroccan tajine I made with lamb, butternut squash, olives, mint, and apricots. A very nice wine.

2017 vintage

PnP, with loads of lime and pineapple notes jumping out of the glass. Fresh squeezed lime dominates early on the palate, followed by a wave of tropical fruits. Waxy, with secondary hints of honey and coconut, and just enough acidity to keep it moving. This could use more time, but it's already delicious.

2017 vintage

A fruit profile of lime juice, almost sweet wine-like elements of quince compote, lychee and a herbal sea-berry dimension which I particularly liked here. Also mineral and saline flavours. A soft and creamy texture with just the right amount of acidity to provide sufficient freshness. Dense and precise with a firm structure. This is a rock-solid white Bordeaux and a step-up from the 2015 I had a year ago that came across muted initially. The 2017 is immediately present with …

good wine, still fresh but not very complex. shows its age. I would not hold on too long

2017 vintage

Surprisingly young in color, as it doesn't have any appearance of oxidation or age. Rich, creamy, and almost oily on the palate. This is a big white that also has hints of orange zest, chamomile, and lemon butter. As it warmed up closer to room temp and had some more air, more citrus notes started to shine through and further balance the wine. This is very good and will likely be looking for more. Cheers!

1993 vintage

53% Sauvignon Blanc; 46% Semillon and 1% Muscadelle. Sauvignon Blanc dominant nose, Semillon dominant taste and mouthfeel. Very structured and rich taste. Oak well-integrated! Quite delicious...

2017 vintage

Light golden colour, no hint of oxidation Initially too cold but as it warmed the expressive nose showed citrus and a hint of caramel/honey. Some legacy of oak. Improved with time in the glass. Very interesting for its age, no fade.

1993 vintage

Served blind and my immediate reaction upon smelling this was Bordeaux blanc. This was surprisingly youthful given it's age. It still showed some prominent wood notes though they were pretty well integrated. Nose showed nice honeysuckle, citrus notes. palate was heavily influenced by the oak, but it was nicely integrated oak. Hints of caramel and a light touch of butterscotch. Shows some good fruit and nice acidity. This was not a wow wine. It was decent but not impressive, other …

Drunk at the Mouton Dinner at Pierre Restaurant, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Hong Kong - Firstly let me declare that the floral character that this wine exhibits as a result of the very small percentage of Muscadelle is not to my taste, nevertheless its quality gets better and better with pretty much each vintage. There is some wonderful minerality that really carries this wine.

2017 vintage

Beautiful in color with a golden hue. Aromas of honeycomb, Mellon, and crushed apples. Dry with mellow pear, lime, and citrus rind on the palate. It’s drinking really well considering its age.

1993 vintage

Clearly the finest vintage of Aile D'Argent Blanc, this shows off its lemon peel, vanilla bean, flowers, bees wax and citrus peel with no effort. The wine is fresh, there is volume, length and a refreshing, fruity quality in the finish that sticks with you. The wine was made from a blend of 53% Sauvignon Blanc, 46% Semillon and 1% Muscadelle and a touch of Sauvignon Gris. Close to 40% of the crop was damaged by the frost.

2017 vintage

In the bouquet ripe apples. Same on the palate. Minerals and crustacean impressions. Mature, but still alive. Nevertheless I did not score the wine.
