The wine is a deep, dark, garnet-hued cherry red. The refined and complex nose opens on remarkably ripe black fruit aromas, going on with airing to reveal blackcurrant and aniseed notes combined with touches of graphite and a subtle hint of blond tobacco.

2020 Artwork: Chteau Mouton Rothschild famously unveils a new artwork for each new vintage a release. The commission for this vintage was given to the Scottish artist Peter Doig, born in 1959. For Mouton 2020, the painter combines echoes of Czanne and Van Gogh with a fascinating personal reverie on the nocturnal birth of a great wine, which the strange magic of a tine on a guitar seems to quicken into life.
