About This Wine
This 2016 vintage from Mouton Rothschild's distinguished second label presents a compelling Bordeaux blend anchored by Cabernet Sauvignon with complementary portions of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Visually arresting in deep garnet-purple, the wine opens with an inviting bouquet of ripe plum and tobacco leaf, evolving into nuanced layers of cherry liqueur, currant fruit, and earthy minerality. Medium-weighted on the palate, it balances concentrated dark fruit with a refreshing line of acidity, supported by a well-integrated tannin structure that provides grip without heaviness. The wine concludes with a characteristic menthol-tinged finish that adds sophistication and persistence to this classically proportioned Left Bank expression.
