Mouton Cadet Réserve Médoc 2016 AOC - Baron Philippe de Rothschild

The Mouton Cadet Réserve Médoc by Baron Philippe de Rothschild shines in the glass intensely garnet red with delicate violet reflections. On the nose unfolds a complex bouquet with elegant fruity-sweet aromas of blueberries, blackberries, currants, roasted bread and caramelised plums. On the palate fruity, soft and juicy, full-bodied, with perfectly integrated tannins. The finish is typical for a Médoc wine very long concluding a complex and harmonious wine with a very good ageing potential.
