2002 Chateau Mouton Rothschild

Price: $749.95

Built for a stately roast lamb, dusted with rosemary and slow-cooked to perfection. The 2002 Château Mouton Rothschild, a Pauillac titan from a celebrated vintage, unfolds with a savoury depth that echoes the finest elements of Bordeaux winemaking. Its structured elegance speaks of careful cellaring, promising a complex journey of dark fruits and subtle spice that will continue to mature for years.

Tasting Notes

  • Aroma: Generous notes of blackberry and blackcurrant, intertwined with hints of cedarwood, tobacco, and a subtle minerality.
  • Palate: Dense and rich, with firm yet refined tannins. Flavours of blackcurrant, toast, and mocha are beautifully balanced with notes of black cherry liqueur.
  • Finish: Long, stylish, and persistent, with a harmonious aftertaste of dark fruits and a delicate spice.

Perfect Food Pairings

This robust red wine calls for equally flavourful dishes:

  • Seafood: Not typically a pairing for this style of wine.
  • Mains: Roasted lamb, grilled beef steak, or hearty game dishes like venison.
  • Cheese: Aged cheddar, aged Gouda, or a mature Stilton.
