chalky seashell like mineral notes here lingering through the finish

It's medium to full-bodied with abundant

Chateau Mouton Rothschild Pauillac France 2018 Wine Antonelli San Marco This is very northern RhôneThis has so much tannic power, with density, layers and structure along with layers of blackberry, liquorice, baked earth, cigar box and the signature exotic spices of Mouton. A big, textured and complex wine that is taking it all in its stride. 100% new oak. There is the tiniest touch of Petit Verdot in the blend, but under 1%, so its not in the official figures. 62% of production went into the grand vin. 100 Pts Decanter
