Chateau Mouton Rothschild, Pauillac, France 2000 The Hess Collection Winery Pinot Noir and Pinot MeunierWith its distinctive antique bottle and gold etched label dominated by a sheep, this is definitely a move away from classic Bordeaux bottling. It is good that the wine can support the presentation. The fruit is so ripe, it almost tastes of raisins, but that sweetness is finely balanced by the dry tannins and concentrated texture. To finish, there are exotic spices, giving an almost oriental character to the long aftertaste. 97 Pts Wine Enthusiast
