Score 17/20 · Drink 1993-2008, Jancis Robinson MW, Nov 2009

Minerally nose, light and almost lean but certainly fine textured. I suspect this would have tasted better a few years ago. (JR)

Score 86/100 · Drink 1989-2000, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

Thanks to the efforts of administrator Philippe Cottin and winemaker Patrick Leon, the quality level of Mouton-Baronne-Philippe began to rise with this vintage. The 1985 is a creamy-textured, fat, lush, lovely wine with a seductive, rich fruitiness, precocious personality, and low acidity. It is gorgeous for drinking over the next decade. Anticipated maturity: Now-2000. Last tasted, 1/89.

d'Armailhac

Ch. d’Armailhac is a Pauillac Fifth Growth owned by the Rothschilds, who also own Ch. Mouton Rothschild. Lavished with the same attention to detail and having benefitted from extensive investment in recent years, this estate can offer brilliant value in comparison to its First Growth sibling.
