Mouton 2016, 750ml [WA 100] [6 Bottle OWC]

The 2016 Château Mouton Rothschild from Pauillac in Bordeaux is a perfection-scoring masterpiece, presented here in a six-bottle Original Wooden Case (OWC) that represents the pinnacle of modern investment-grade wine. Rated a flawless 100 points by the Wine Advocate, Lisa Perrotti-Brown was "absolutely blown away by the power" of this vintage, describing "slow-releasing layers" of crème de cassis, chocolate-covered cherries, and candied violets. It is a profound, architectural wine that Neal Martin also awarded 100 points, calling it a "towering Mouton" with an "astounding, kaleidoscopic nose." The palate delivers immense depth and pixelated tannins, balancing the estate's signature flamboyance with a cool, classic precision that marks it as a legend in the making.

This is a wine for the next generation; while the purity of fruit allows for an insight into its greatness today with a significant decant, it is built to evolve and improve for the next 50 to 75 years.
