Strong ruby garnet, delicate ochre reflections, broad watery edge. Typical château aromas of unmistakable ripe nuances of cassis, eucalyptus and mint leaves. On the palate highly elegant and complex, discreet acidity, firm tannins which are still very present, it remains well integrated. Lovely dark berry nuances with gentle tobacco savouriness. A noble Pauillac from head to crown.
More about the tastingImpressive, powerful color, with remnants of ruby reflections. The nose is as typically Mouton as can be imagined. The full cassis of the Cabernet Sauvignon, underlaid with eucalyptus and fresh mint, brings the bouquet very close to the legendary 1945; on the palate, the wine shows considerable freshness, it is still rich and delicate. Its crisp, firm tannins and the fresh structure of the vintage carry this 55 on safe wings, perfect terroir expression. It is worth looking for.
