Tasting notes for Château Mouton Rothschild 1988
- To the eye : Deep garnet robe with tawny highlights, of a silky density and a crystalline brilliance.
- On the nose : Aromas of ripe blackcurrant, cedar, blond tobacco, and undergrowth, lifted by a hint of graphite and a subtle iodized salinity.
- On the palate : Velvety attack, fine and taut tannins, a perfect balance between lively acidity and chalky minerality, a long and persistent finish on notes of liquorice and gentle spices.
Serve at 16–18°C in a Bordeaux glass to release its full complexity.
