Château Mouton Rothschild 2012 is one of the nicest, if not the better Medoc wine of the vintage. For this vintage, it is a Spanish artist Miquel Barcelo which illustrated the label.
His fresco revisits the history of the Château emblem. His two rams, symmetrical and clashed, recall that the balance and harmony of a great wine, gifts of nature, also remain a challenge for the work of men.

PAIRING: Leg spoon
Intense ruby tone. Strong smell of berries. Softer than 2016.
Too acidic for me.
Deep Burgundy colour. Smell like nuts, like it. It has a very mild and pleasant flavour.
I decided not to pair it with any dish.
