Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2009

The wine has an intense, vivid colour with a lovely violet tint.
The nose opens rapidly on very rich aromas, combining juicy ripe fruit, blackberry and crushed blackcurrant with more complex notes of fine oak that usher in aromas of vanilla, mocha and cedarwood.
Full on the palate, showing roundness and refinement on nicely present, stylish and well-rounded tannins, it mingles very ripe, almost jammy fruit with touches of toast, caramel and spice, building to a highly expressive finish that has charm, power and length.
The style of this Mouton strikes a fine balance between fruit, freshness and elegance.
