Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2012

Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2012 – 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot 8%, Cabernet Franc 2% Color: A dense and opaque color, almost black, with a very attractive shine. Bouquet: Refined, complex and expressive, it mixes black fruit with blackcurrant and crushed blackberry flavors, opening with ventilation to display more complex notes of cigar box and spices. Taste: Completely and substantially sumptuous. The tannins are ripe and clear, wrapped in a beautiful, dense and firm body, which reveals aromas of chocolate and vanilla; a wonderful, fresh, intense and mineral aftertaste. 97 James Suckling points: “What an extraordinary bouquet of blackberries, blackcurrants, minerals and graphite. Full-bodied, extremely fine and polished. Sexy and ethereal. A fabulous 2012. Clean silk. Better after 2020, but so wonderful even now. ” 97 Wine Enthusiast Points 96 Parker Points
