Chateau Mouton Rothschild Pauillac 1999

Chateau Mouton Rothschild Pauillac 1999 has a relatively deep color with a garnet tint shading slightly to orange. The nose is surprisingly rich, revealing a wide variety of ripe fruit – blackcurrant, blackberry, tropical fruit, fruit preserve – together with leather and humus, mocha, tobacco and cigar box, all mingled in a highly complex bouquet. Both round and very expressive on the palate, it displays supple, silky tannins integrated into elegant oak and a pleasant freshness that fills out on caramel and vanilla flavors with a slightly minty note. The nicely long and flavorsome finish is entirely typical of the vintage, seductive and with the pleasant disposition of an already well-rounded structure.
