2008 Chateau Mouton Rothschild Pauillac 1Er Grand Cru Classe
2008 Chateau Mouton Rothschild Pauillac 1Er Grand Cru Classe
With a very high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend once again this Mouton Rothschild displays a very rich range of aromas and flavours throughout the tasting. The first nose is intense and open: red fruit blackberry and blackcurrant combine harmoniously with floral notes such as violet. On airing roasted toasted notes mingle graciously with delicate touches of cedarwood. The palate opens with a lively powerful and full-bodied attack releasing silky velvet tannins. Forward fruit on black berry flavours is set off by toasted notes and a delicious touch of vanilla while the powerful and harmonious finish displays very attractive length.
