2006 Chateau Mouton Rothschild (1.5L)

"The 2006 Château Mouton Rothschild is an absolutely remarkable showing in this vintage which is composed of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Merlot. This impresses with its stunning aromatics of blackberries and currants which are joined by spices, dark chocolate, espresso, graphite, tobacco and mineral nuances that all take shape. On this palate this is every bit as compelling, as it boasts a wonderful full body which is supported by gorgeous velvety, yet supportive tannins. It goes on to display incredible overall balance and concentration all the way through the long, beautifully polished finish. This is a total success and all signs indicate a long, graceful evolution to come for the fabulous 2006." - 97/100 Int'l Wine Review
