Mouton Cadet?

Just been looking on the wine rack and found that we have a bottle of Baron Philippe de Rothschild, 2015.

No idea where it came from as it is not something that we would buy, but am wondering if it is worth drinking, now, should be kept, thrown, or what?

We are not red wine wine drinkers, especially ones with "refined tannins"


Any thoughts?

Avoid at all cost...I believe that batch was contaminated and needs to be destroyed at a government registered premises.

I will PM you with the address.

Best if it is received before Xmas!

It's worth about £10 - £15. But only if it has been kept in a cool environment. If not, I'd suggest drinking now and testing it to destruction with a meat dish. :)

Thanks for that.

I'll hold it for next time we have a red wine drinker visiting. 8-)

Trades on the magic name; overpriced for what it is.
There is a teeeeeny difference between this and Mouton Rothschild ...
