Estimate
Lots of violets, blackberries, bark and iodine. Oyster shell. Full-bodied. Firm and velvety tannins with a long and satisfying finish. Juicy... Chewy and soft.
...fabulous. Dark red plum, blood orange, pomegranate, mint and cinnamon all build as this flamboyant, striking Petit Mouton shows off its considerable charms... Bright acids perk up the mid-palate, leading to the brilliant, sculpted finish...has come together beautifully with élevage.
Smells wonderful, perfumed, herbal, milk chocolate, ripe blackberries, cherries and blackcurrants...you get a sense of fullness on the nose. Supple, beautifully balanced and textured, round but direct...settles in the right places. Really elegant and classy...with persistence and confidence...overall gorgeous tetue, weight, balance, and push still with excellent acidity, ripe fruits and an element of minerality that cleans the tongue. Sharp, serious and long. A great wine that's a joy to taste.
...offers a rich, powerful, concentrated, and medium to full-bodied style as well as ample darker currant and cassis fruits, some tobacco and spicy oak, a great mid-palate, and outstanding length on the finish.
Offering up aromas of cassis, cigar wrapper and violets...medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with a broad attack and a layered, concentrated mid-palate.
...dense, the tannins and black fruits giving intensity. It has a softer side, with sweet black fruits that are generous and rounded.
Dark, pure, savoury and smoky. Oaky, too. Smells so pure despite the oak sweetness. Really fine tannins, extremely pure with tannic finesse. Harmonious, the power hidden under an elegant exterior.
This is a second label of Château Mouton Rothschild
