Ch Mouton Rothschild 2021 Pauillac
17.5 +
89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc. Cask sample.
Blackcurrant and cranberry notes indicate the dominance of Cabernet in the blend. Meaty but fresh on the palate, the tannins silky and dense. Plenty of substance here, the fruit generous, the tannins firm, providing length on the finish. Rich, within the context of the vintage, but fresh at the same time. Looks to have staying power. (JL)
