2014 Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1. Cru

France / Bordeaux / Medoc / Haut-Medoc / Pauillac 1. Cru Rouge
 
2014 Château Mouton Rothschild 1st Grand Cru Classé will be remembered as a year of contrasts; Spring arrived in due course after a typical Bordeaux winter, though April was much sunnier and drier than the average.
The colour is a deep red with a purplish tint. The refined and distinguished nose reveals very mature fruit aromas, pleasantly mingled with subtle spice and vanilla notes. The velvety attack fills the mouth with a mature and smooth body on silky, firm tannins which enfold a satin texture with a hint of minerality. The very long finish displays a harmonious combination of complexity, opulence and freshness.
