expect it to mellow and improve with time

All fruit is hand-harvested and fermented whole-cluster

The palate is medium-bodied with silky tannins and vibrant acidity

The tannins are ripe and proportionate and leave a pleasantly toasty impression

but is quite silky and long at the finish

Chateau Mouton Rothschild, Pauillac, France 2000 Andrew Will Winery expect it to mellow andWith its distinctive antique bottle and gold etched label dominated by a sheep, this is definitely a move away from classic Bordeaux bottling. It is good that the wine can support the presentation. The fruit is so ripe, it almost tastes of raisins, but that sweetness is finely balanced by the dry tannins and concentrated texture. To finish, there are exotic spices, giving an almost oriental character to the long aftertaste. 97 Pts Wine Enthusiast
