Baron Philippe de Rothschild 2005 Mouton Cadet Réserve (Saint-Émilion)

Country: France / Mouton Cadet Réserve
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Bordeaux
Winery: Baron Philippe de Rothschild / Saint-Émilion

There’s good density here. This wine shows plenty of ripe Merlot fruit flavors, jammy, lifted with dried fruits and blackberries. It’s a rounded, ripe wine, but shot through with a curious, unbalanced, very dry wood element.
