A wine of exceptional depth and opulence, Château Mouton Rothschild 2016 embodies the power and grandeur of Pauillac. A vintage of extraordinary balance, it captivates from the first sip with its intensity, complexity, and refinement. On the nose, layers of ripe blackcurrant, blackberry, and cassis unfold, interwoven with graphite, cedar, and tobacco, hallmark notes of Pauillac’s finest terroirs. Hints of truffle, mocha, and exotic spices add further intrigue, while a touch of vanilla from masterful oak aging enhances its luxurious character. The palate is dense, velvety, and incredibly well-structured, revealing both power and precision. The tannins are silky yet firm, supporting a core of concentrated dark fruit, perfectly balanced by fresh acidity and a refined mineral edge. As the wine evolves, it deepens with nuances of dark chocolate, cigar box, and roasted coffee, leading to a long, persistent finish infused with subtle spice and earthy undertones.
