Mouton Cadet Bordeaux 2016

Mouton Cadet Bordeaux red comes in a rather vibrant bright red color indeed, of medium intensity. It is fairly dark to the core, although you can still see through. The rim is brightly red. It has an average color I would say, but typical for a Bordeaux AC wine.

The nose primarily throws aromas of lifted spices, white pepper and nutmeg, some cinnamon. It smells quite vegetal too, with the typical Cabernet Sauvignon character of bell pepper (or capsicum, the green one in this case). Somewhat of a leafy character to the aromatic profile.

The fruity notes are discrete to the nose. Subtle sour red berry come through discretely.
