Château Mouton Rothschild Tinto

Description

“The 2017 Château Mouton Rothschild – a year destined for the history books. It seems the climate of 2017 deemed Pauillac worthy of a truly magnificent wine, with Cabernet Sauvignon taking the lead, beautifully supported by Merlot’s sophisticated touch (though the winemaker admits it came with a touch of tension!). The extended drought appears to have concentrated the flavours in the berries, revealing a Cabernet Sauvignon displaying the elegance and complexity that earned it those coveted scores – 99/100 from James Suckling, Antonio Galloni and Robert Parker, and 98/100 from Decanter. A genuine gem from the Old World, this promises a long and memorable ageing – ideally paired with a substantial cut of beef.”
