Mouton Rothschild 2015

Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2015 is a richly aromatic, powerfully structured Pauillac first growth from a widely praised Bordeaux vintage.

The refined and elegant nose reveals fruity wild blackberry and bilberry aromas, with toast, liquorice and blond tobacco filling out a rich, complex range. The fresh, full-bodied attack shows smooth, creamy tannins with a silky texture lifted by minerality, and the palate is rich in ripe fruit and peppery spice, concluding with an exceptionally long finish.
