A wine where the nose far outclasses the palate. I love the nose -- it's truly perfumed with some dried floral notes, some pyrazine in the background, as well as some red fruit. On the palate, this is fully resolved -- likely on the back end of the plateau before declining. It's a very light wine, with tannins that are purely silk at this point (though they got a little more prominent with air). Quite a bit of acidity as well. Light on its feet. I've seldom been impressed by Mouton, but for such a bad vintage, this is certainly an overachiever.
