It showcases a refined nose with ripe bilberry and blackcurrant aromas, complemented by floral notes, pepper, spice, and hints of graphite and blonde tobacco. On the palate, it presents silky, well-rounded tannins, with abundant black fruit, cocoa, and biscuity flavors. The finish is full-bodied and remarkably persistent, a sign of its great potential. This wine has received exceptional praise, with a RP 100 score from The Wine Advocate, highlighting its bold, seductive character and potential for long-term aging. The label was designed by William Kentridge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine Advocate | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(151, 7, 0); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eRP 100\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Oct 31, 2019\u003cbr\u003eDrink: 2022-2085\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComposed of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2016 Mouton Rothschild has an opaque garnet-purple color. WOW?the nose explodes from the glass with powerful blackcurrant cordial, black raspberries, blueberry pie and melted chocolate notions, plus suggestions of aniseed, camphor, lifted kirsch and the faintest waft of a subtle floral perfume in the background. Full-bodied, concentrated, bold and totally seductive in the mouth, it has very fine-grained, silt-like tannins, while jam-packed with tightly wound fruit layers, finishing in this wonderful array of mineral sparks.

Massive and profound, it also retains wonderful freshness which adds to the appeal of this monumental first growth. Deep and impenetrable in colour with cassis, exotic spice and lead-pencil\/graphite notes on both nose and palate, this Mouton stays light on its feet whilst carrying the structure to age for 50 years. Still very young, this will probably be a 100-point wine with a few years extra ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJancis Robinson | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(148, 3, 3);\"\u003eJR 19\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished: Feb 6, 2020\u003cbr\u003eDrink: 2027-2050\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasted blind.
