Château Mouton Rothschild 2020 – Pauillac, Premier Grand Cru Classé

The nose is fresh, elegant, delicate and offers power (in subtlety), richness (in delicacy/finesse), a discreet side of content, complexity and a nice broad aromatic palette. There are notes of bright cassis, bright redcurrant and more lightly juicy/tangy blueberry combined with hints of fleshy gariguette strawberry, lily, green cardamom, discrete tips of fresh blond tobacco and subtle hint of cola. The palate is fruity and offers juiciness, freshness, a nice definition, gourmandize, a tangy frame, suavity, a little pulpy side, harmonious, silk scarf, a frame/structure, a nice sapidity, minerality as well as a nice airy character and subtlety. The wine expresses bright redcurrant, juicy/pulpy cherry and more slightly tart/juicy plum notes combined with hints of fresh/juicy blackberry as well as hints of fresh flowers, racy minerality, discreet hints of spice, cola, cherry blossom, fresh gravel, cardamom and discreet hints of nutmeg. The tannins are fine, elegant, delicate and precise. Delicate chewiness and a very discreet hint of bourbon vanilla on the finish/persistence.
