Chateau Mouton Rothschild Pauillac, France 2006

This 2006 Chateau Mouton Rothschild is a classic Bordeaux blend, predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon with a touch of Merlot. The wine is an intense, dark cherry red, expressing a complex array of aromas. The palate is full, creamy and powerful, with a harmonious attack prolonged by fresh and crisp, richly flavoured tannins. The wine's concentration and balance suggest it has a long potential life-span, and that with time it will open superbly. The wine is best served with red meat, game or poultry.
