"Color: nice ruby red; nose: berries, candied skittles, more New World, black licorice, lively, mint; Taste: really nice weight, full bodied, a little dryness & bitterness between the mid-palate & finish that could throw some people off, a little young (should last 25-35 years), drinking extremely nice, a lot of Jamaican blue coffee flavors on mid-palate, lots of chocolate, I like this wine, great food wine, a little more New World, silky, great mouth feel, a profound effort . . ."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The world's largest fine-wine region, built around blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Divided by the Gironde estuary into the structured Left Bank and the plush, Merlot-led Right Bank, it is the historic benchmark for age-worthy claret and sweet Sauternes.
Home to three of Bordeaux's five First Growths, Pauillac is the Left Bank benchmark for powerful, structured Cabernet Sauvignon. Its wines are famed for cassis, cedar and graphite notes and exceptional aging potential.
Chateau Mouton Rothschild is a First Growth estate in Pauillac, Bordeaux, elevated to First Growth status in 1973 and famous for its rich, exotic Cabernet-based wines and artist-designed labels.
