Château Mouton Rothschild 2016 – Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

The  nose is fruity, elegant and offers a beautiful definition as well as concentration (but all in finesse). It reveals notes of fleshy blackberry, fleshy cassis and more slightly fleshy strawberry associated with small touches of kirsch cherry, blueberry as well as discreet hints of violet, flowers, tonka bean, a subtle hint of spices and a very discreet hint of liquorice. The palate is fruity, aery, beautifully structured and offers a beautiful juiciness, a beautiful gourmandize/suavity, a beautiful definition, suavity, a beautiful fullness, a beautiful finesse of the grain, a beautiful touch, tension as well as a very beautiful delicacy. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy/juicy blackberry and fleshy/juicy cassis associated with small touches of strawberry, graphite, oak. Tannins are fine, elegant and young. Good length. The finish brings chews as well as gourmandize.
