2012 Château Mouton Rothschild, Pauillac, Bordeaux

Description

With a huge dark and dense nose, this wine is very big and exceedingly powerful. Blackcurrant fruit predominates on the palate with high levels of acidity and very firm tannins that fill the mouth.  Mocha and coffee notes follow, leading to a very long and persistent finish. A big behemoth style of Ch. Mouton-Rothschild, this is in the mould of the 2006, which is even more impressive bearing in mind the growing season. Bravo indeed.

Pauillac

The aristocrat of the Médoc boasts 75 percent of the region’s First Growths, with Grand Cru Classés representing 84 percent of production. Pauillac's First Growths each have their own unique characteristics: Ch. Lafite Rothschild produces the region’s most aromatically-complex and subtly-flavoured wine, while – with its high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon – Ch. Mouton Rothschild can produce a decadently rich, fleshy and exotic wine.
