Château Mouton Rothschild--Vintage 2005
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Tasting note: Cabernet Sauvignon 85 Merlot 14 Cabernet Franc 1 Unsurprisingly dramatic in every aspect: intensity of colour; the immediacy of its varietal aromas, great depth, opening up richly and sweetly in the glass; spicy, cloves (new oak), an exotic wine with fair strength (13.1 alcohol), silky, leathery tannins and great length. At the château, April 2006 (*****) 2020-2040. M.B.
