Tasting Notes
The Château Mouton Rothschild 1997 is a refined and approachable vintage, showcasing Pauillac’s signature elegance and complexity. It presents a medium ruby color with garnet reflections, indicating its graceful aging.
On the nose, it offers a charming bouquet of red and blackcurrants, dried cherries, cedar, and tobacco, complemented by hints of violets, earthy undertones, and delicate spice notes.
The palate is medium-bodied and well-balanced, featuring silky tannins, bright acidity, and a smooth, refined texture. Flavors of ripe berries, mocha, and subtle oak nuances lead to a long, harmonious finish with soft spice and mineral notes. This vintage is drinking beautifully now and is perfect for those who appreciate elegance over power.
