Merchant's description

The 1979 Château Mouton Rothschild is a medium-bodied and elegant wine, now at peak maturity and is ideal for drinking now. As ever, an artist was commissioned to design the label artwork and, for the first time, this honour was bestowed upon a Japanese artist, Hisao Domoto.
