Tasting Notes
The Château Mouton Rothschild 1998 is an exceptional and structured vintage, reflecting the power and finesse of Pauillac’s terroir. It displays a deep ruby color with garnet edges, indicating its remarkable evolution and aging potential.

The palate is full-bodied and beautifully balanced, showcasing firm yet polished tannins, vibrant acidity, and layers of concentrated dark fruit. Flavors of espresso, licorice, dark chocolate, and smoky oak unfold gracefully, leading to a long, persistent, and elegant finish.
