This profound Mouton offers a more approachable profile compared to the robust 1996 vintage. It blends 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 19% Merlot, presenting an intense purple hue and subtle aromas of cassis, truffles, coffee, licorice, and spice. On the palate, it delivers impressive density, lasting over 40 seconds, with exceptional purity and elevated tannins. Despite being slightly lower in acidity, it boasts a fleshier texture, distinguishing it from the more muscular 1996. Both vintages exemplify Mouton-Rothschild’s excellence.
