Mouton Cadet

Erstaunlich gut!

2015 vintage

Pale garnet in the glass. Light-bodied, dry, smooth tannins, with soft acidity. Primary dark fruit aromas of blackcurrant and olive. Red fruit aroma of sour cherry. Vegetable aroma of green bell pepper, and herbal aroma of dried oregano, with a faint hint of cured meat. Little to no oak. Dark fruit note of olive brine, red fruit note of tart cherry, and tomato. The finish is both vegetal, and herbal, with a short finish.

1999 vintage

Definitely in worse shape than the previous bottle we opened last year. This one is quite rusty-brownish in color. Lots of iron and dried cherry on the nose. Not oxidized, but rather lifeless. Quite flat with very little fruit left.

2015 vintage

To be fair I had no expectations when I pulled this out of the cellar today. Just the need to taste something wet and red while we wait for the boeuf bourguignon to do it's thing in the oven (repeating last weekend's dinner because it was just so good). This is a very inexpensive, nothing special, no more than $10-when-I-bought-it bottle that's been lying forgotten in the cellar for more than a decade. The color is a translucent brick red …

2008 vintage

Awesome after 1 1/2 hours decanting

2015 vintage

Another really nice bottle. Still some fruit left, well balanced with slightly pronounced acidity. A little thin but good length. Nice!

1979 vintage

Alone, this wine is an 86 at best, but I gave it a 90 after I blended it 50/50 with a 1998 Bordeaux that was past peak. Together these 2 were really impressive. So, I recommend buying wines like this, still in their youth, and blending them with older Bordeaux wines that are in decline.

2015 vintage

Use it in food.....

2011 vintage

Drunk far too late. No flavor any longer. Tasteless but not yet vinegar though

2008 vintage

Better than expected, it performed well with lean flat iron steak. The tannins are settled, yet giving a backbone. The overall balance is good and rounded, despite the wine lacks finesse and is quite middle-of-the-road in style. 2015 is possibly at its peak now.

2015 vintage

Bit rough with coarse tannins showing black cherry and plum aromas.

2015 vintage

In surprisingly good shape. A little thin, not much fruit and with quite pronounced acidity, but still nicely balanced. Medium intensity and length. Drink up.

1979 vintage

Young, fresh, too much tannins. Drinkable in 5+ years if it ever will be good enough.

2015 vintage

No fruit, might be slightly past although color is good.

2011 vintage

Color: Transparent ruby. Nose: Somewhat fruity, a hint of something funky. Mouth: Red berries, raspberries but not very expressive. Quite short. There is an appetizing freshness. Finish a bit bitter what I don't mind with food. Medium bodied. A good simple table wine for every day. However you will find the same quality for much less money.

2015 vintage

Medium everything: body, fruit, tannin and acidity. Still, a pleasing offering suitable for eve very day.

2015 vintage

Medium ruby colour. Developing with med (+) intensity of roses, black plums, cooked black cherries, white pepper, vanilla, cedar, earthy, meaty. On the palate it is dry with medium (+) acidity, medium (+) tannins. Body is med(+) and alcohol medium. Flavour intensity is med (+) and palate has cooked cherries, savoury, tomato leaf. Quality is good with only acceptable complexity, drink now and not suitable for much further aging.

2015 vintage

Medium bodied; primarily blackberry and black currant fruits. Earthy, savoury, medium tannin with a slightly sour finish. Lacking any mid-palate richness. Okay, without being exciting. Good mid week wine with a hearty stew.

2015 vintage

As usual, by more

2015 vintage

very good and smooth at the start, did not hold up too well, a little weak

2015 vintage

12% alcohol. Somewhat translucent and moderately developed, maroon-hued cherry red color that turns quite pale towards the rim. The nose is sweet and developed with aromas of wizened dark fruits, an odd streak of something buttery, some ripe dark berries, a little bit of herbal character and a hint of strawberries. The wine feels quite full-bodied, somewhat soft and round on the palate with ripe, dry-ish flavors of strawberries and succulent plums, some developed tobacco character, a little bit of …

2000 vintage

Beautiful bright red in colour, one often easily mistaken is a glass of red Burgundy! Of course, once you take a whiff, it is unmistakenly a glass of Bordeaux, you have some lovely bouquet of sweet strawberries, little raspberries, a hint of cold steel! Simple palate but a mouthful of red fruits, a little young, a little harsh, all in all, a very good table wine and I need a good ham sandwich to pair it! This is not for …

2015 vintage

It's ok but nothing that special, even with 8 years bottle age. No terroir to speak of and not to fruity either. We liked it with lamb chops.

2009 vintage

Deep red color wine with light tannin, subtle acidic notes with some dark cherry notes. Well balanced and with just enough complexity.

2015 vintage

Bought for HKD63 (~EUR7/ USD8/ GBP6). Great value and the excellent 2015 vintage helped a lot. At nose the Cabernet showed very nicely the dark fruits. On palate the bitterness from Merlot came forward and more sweet fruit and oak flavours like Vanilla at the back. Very little but fine tannin. It's a bit light as what's lacking is just the acidity. For this price it's a must buy as a daily drink.

2015 vintage

Not great...

2011 vintage

Mouton Cadet (London Wine fair) : Ruby red. Intense and complex at nose, with spicy notes of tobacco and pepper, joining a blak fruit (blackcurrant) Powerful entry, with an vigorous tannin and a good acidity balancing a ripe fruit. Weak in structure. Merlot 85%

2015 vintage

tastes fake and funky in a bad way. not sure how they made cheap bordeaux back then but while this is still drinkable it's mostly unpleasant. air does help though if you happen to have this wine. Edit: this sat in a decanter for about a week and did become much more tolerable, almost enjoyable dare i say!

1983 vintage

Philippe de Rothschild was supposed to have said "...judge me by my Mouton-Cadet." So I put one away from a good vintage, and here's the judging...: Deep crimson w some staining - nose is slightly muted, but cigar box, a hint of capsicum - Classic Cab - palate has good fruit, it is smooth but has good grip - lacks depth mid-palate and finishes a bit short, but served blind, this could well be mistaken for something more than the …

2009 vintage

Blackberries and smoke in this smooth acidic wine. The wine looks ruby colored. Long finish. I see that 57% of Cellartracker users' bottles have not been drunk yet. I recommend that you drink this wine up now. I don't think it will improve any further.

2009 vintage

R: Brown, amber opaque, cognac N: sweet, orange peel B: sweet, light bodied, light, low alcohol, medium finish, minimum tannis

2000 vintage

Found this old party wine hiding in my cellar. Opened it expecting it to be bad… a 16 year old $12 wine. A huge surprise… it was fine. In fact, had improved over the years in my 56 degree cellar. Color still good. It was pleasant though rather simple.

2000 vintage

I was impressed given the low scores from others and that I'm drinking it a couple of years post prime. This is not going to be confused with a grand Cru, but it's a decent wine. No pronounced tanins, in fact not as much body as would be expected given the age. That said its fruit is nice, medium dark plum and a little tobacco with a very even finish.

2009 vintage

Stored in a cool cellar during 11 years. Slightly over the top, no tannines at all, but very sweet wine. Brownish collor, odor of soil and rubber, very sweet taste.

2000 vintage

Old, tired red wine. Showing well, but way over the hill.

1979 vintage

Fresh red berries on nose. somewhat bitter on palate.

2011 vintage

A good wine for the money

2007 vintage

good, used the new air machine..set at 4 try agin at 2

2009 vintage

This had been lying around in the cellar for I don't know how long, maybe ten years. It turned out to be excellent for a plain Bordeaux: Dark and very pleasant nose, good body. Probably as good as it ever was.

2000 vintage

Shows notes of black currant and some warm tones of fruit. The finish is short and ends very dried out. It's one dimensional, unbalanced and hollow.

2000 vintage

From a famous label of the Rothschilds, this Bordeaux is an elegant and structured blend of Merlot, C. Sauvignon and some C. Franc. Make sure you let it breath some, but then you get full blackberry taste with hints of pepper and laurel. Great finish.

2011 vintage

Characterless wine without a distinctive profile. Well-balanced but flat and more or less boring in its eager will to please. Given the price point, there is far better stuff out there in this category where you get more wine for your buck instead of paying for the name and the label and then pass on enjoyment.

2009 vintage

Meh. It's not bad but a bit watery and not very complex.

2011 vintage

A bit tart and slightly bitter, but smooth once aired out. Low complexity. Nice for the price.

2011 vintage

Huuuge cherry and strawberry on the nose. Palate is interesting, not so fruity, with reasonably gentle tannins on the finish.

2011 vintage

drunk at friend's wedding, quite nice and gently clarety and a bit herbaceous. Much better than the 2012

2011 vintage

The wine has a clean, brilliant cherry red color. The nose is very attractive, on morello cherry and ripe berry fruit aromas with a highly elegant floral touch. From a round and smooth attack with well-integrated tannins, the wine remains silky while developing a muscular structure on the palate, complex, substantial and full of fruit, with juicy fresh fruit flavors reminiscent of raspberry and black cherry. The refinement, volume and length of the seductive finish show perfect balance in the …
