Medium to deep ruby-red color is almost opaque. The aromas are classic for Mouton-Rothschild, combining rich, pure cassis fruit with wonderful clean cedary oak. The palate is laden with fresh cassis/blackcurrant fruit. The fine tannic structure combines suppleness & grip harmoniously, the rich fruit being lifted well by fresh acidity. The wine is medium to full bodied, but not heavy. Alcohol is balanced & the finish is long complex & very harmonious.
