Chateau Mouton Rothschild Pauillac 2016

Appearance: A strikingly deep purple-black color, reflecting the wine's intensity and concentration.

Nose: The bouquet is a captivating mix of spice, fruit, and florals. Spicy notes of Sichuan pepper, cloves, and cinnamon stick emerge first, followed by lush aromas of blackcurrant cordial, candied violets, blackberry compote, and rose hips. Subtle hints of black plums, espresso, damp soil, tar, and savory beef drippings add layers of complexity and intrigue.

Palate: Medium-bodied but powerful, the palate reveals incredible depth and structure. The wine is packed with dense layers of black fruit, including ripe blackberries and cassis, supported by superbly ripe, grainy tannins that add texture and presence. Vibrant acidity provides freshness and balance, enhancing the rich floral and fruit notes. As the wine evolves in the glass, mineral undertones emerge, adding further refinement and elegance.

Finish: The finish is long, profound, and minerally, leaving a lasting impression of bold fruit, spice, and earthy nuances. The wine’s latent energy promises continued development and complexity over time.
