The wine has a dense, very dark color. On the nose, it offers a fine array of aromas in which red fruit, blackberry and blackcurrant mingle harmoniously with notes of violet and cedarwood. Quick and powerful on the palate, it releases silky, creamy tannins. Château Mouton Rothschild 2008 will be one of the most successful vintages of the early years of this century. A rich wine, opulent in character. There is power here, with richness of fruit and texture. It is both serious side and exuberant, with its bursting black berry fruits. Pure, unadulterated Cabernet, with blackberry, black currant and fig fruit seamlessly held together by mouthwatering acidity, fine grained grip and backed by a long, smoldering finish of tobacco and iron. Dense but rounded, with the length to last a decade or more in the cellar. Best from 2013 through 2022.
