Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2004

The wine has a strong, dark and deep color, while the nose displays subtle complexity on fruity notes of black cherry, candied quince and licorice with touches of cold smoke, revealing very well-integrated oak. The attack is rich and full, with precise, refined tannins that elegantly enfold mocha flavors and toasted notes, leading into a close-knit and flavorful finish with attractive, very fresh length. A distinctive and stylish wine.

Blend: 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot 3%

95 Points - Wine Spectator

This shows lots of mulled spice, warm tobacco leaf and well-roasted cedar accents, but isn't short on fruit, offering enticing layers of red currant, plum and blackberry confiture. The long finish is riddled with sweet smoke, black tea and iron notes. A gorgeous wine from an overlooked vintage.

Deep garnet colour. Aromas of warm cassis, dried plum, cloves and pencil shavings. Medium+ acidity and medium to firm, fine tannins. Long finish.
