Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a 2016 Pauillac built on Cabernet Sauvignon: 83% Cabernet joined by 15% Merlot and one percent each of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. In the glass it is a deep purple-black, and the nose leads with spice before fruit. Sichuan pepper, clove and cinnamon stick come first, then blackcurrant cordial, candied violets and blackberry compote, with espresso, tar and damp soil underneath. The palate is medium-bodied but powerful, with dense cassis and blackberry, ripe grainy tannins and vibrant acidity that keeps it fresh, finishing long and minerally. It suits the collector looking to lay down a vintage for decades as much as the Bordeaux lover marking a milestone dinner, as long as it gets a decant if opened now. Presented in a wood box, it also makes a serious gift. We carry it because it shows what Pauillac Cabernet can do when power and finesse arrive together, and because a wine with this much structure rewards patience in the cellar.
Pairs well with
- Roast lamb with rosemary — The wine's bold tannins and layered black fruit stand up to the richness of the lamb, while its vibrant acidity keeps each bite fresh.
- Aged Comté or Roquefort — Strong, aged cheeses match the wine's intensity, and its earthy, mineral finish carries through their savory depth.
- Milestone anniversary dinner — A wine with this much spice, florals and cellar-worthy structure gives a landmark occasion something to linger over glass after glass.

What grapes go into the 2016 Mouton Rothschild?
The 2016 blend is 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. The Cabernet-dominant makeup drives its blackcurrant and cassis core, its firm grainy tannins and its cedar and spice notes.
Should I drink it now or cellar it?

Both work. It can be enjoyed now with decanting, or cellared for 20 to 30 years or more. Over time the tannins will soften and the wine will develop secondary and tertiary flavors, building even greater complexity.
