Description
WA: abernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, with an alcohol of 13.1% anda pH of around 3.78. Deep purple-black colored, it starts off withsubtle notions of fresh raspberries and blackberries, needingconsiderable swirling and patience to unlock its intense core ofblackcurrant pastilles, rose oil, licorice and cardamom, plustouches of cedar chest, black truffles and crushed rocks. Themedium-bodied palate is like a tightly coiled spring, possessingexhilarating tension and very firm, ripe, multi-grained tannins toframe the layer upon layer of black and red fruits intertwined withearthy and mineral accents, finishing very long and very fragrant.It is certainly the most coy, reticent and elegant grand vin ofthis trio of vintages (2018, 2019 and 2020), bearing Mouton'ssignature perfume, opulence and stylishness with great grace andsophistication as opposed to devil-may-care flamboyance. It's thisgently teasing, achingly beautiful restraint that collectors arenot going to want to miss.
