Chateau Mouton Rothschild Le Petit Mouton 2004

The wine, a deep and concentrated ruby red, has a nicely open, expansive and varied nose on which jammy cherry fruit, licorice and spice mingle with the toast and vanilla of elegant oak. Lush on the palate, it combines a stylish structure of well-rounded tannins with fresh, juicy red fruit, vine peach and caramel and a discreet but refined and agreeable touch of pepper in a rich and harmonious balance. The long, thoroughly Pauillac finish bears the imprint of Cabernet Sauvignon in a full-bodied, richly flavored whole.
