Château Mouton Rothschild 1995 (6 MAG)

Château Mouton Rothschild 1995

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

Excellent levels, capsules slightly scuffed, Taiwan importer's back labels

Label Artist: Antoni Tàpies 

In 2024, this impresses immediately with its dark depth. Dense black fruit on the nose and volume and velvety structure on the palate, less overtly tannic than the immensely classic 1996, but could still take more time - one could almost eat it. Both inky and plummy - a great mouthful. Serena Sutcliffe, MW 

WA 95 

在2023年，其深色色澤已頓時令人難忘。散發濃郁黑果香，口感結構豐盈幼滑。相比經典的1996年，本年份的單寧較不明顯，但仍可再熟成更久-本酒幾乎可以「吃掉」。深邃而帶布冧味，甘美濃郁。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）WA 95

Provenance

Sotheby’s is honored to offer Part II of The Classic Cellar of an Important Asian Collector. 

Immersed in the vibrant world of hospitality and gastronomy from a young age, the collector has cultivated a sophisticated palate, a deep appreciation for classic wines, and an unwavering commitment to quality. A successful entrepreneur and esteemed wine connoisseur, he is also renowned as a hotel and restaurant operator. His discerning taste shines through in this exceptional collection. 

This remarkable collection features some of the most exquisite Bordeaux Classified Growths and gems from legendary vintages such as Mouton Rothschild 1982, Latour 1982 and Petrus 1989. It also includes distinguished Champagnes from renowned houses such as Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 1995 and Krug Clos du Mesnil 1990. Complementing these are wines from the iconic Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, spanning the late 1980s to 1990s. Offered in generous parcel quantities, this collection is a true celebration of elegance, tradition, and excellence.

Most of the collection has been acquired over the past three decades from UK and local wine merchants. Almost 100% of the wines were purchased more than 20 years ago. Vintage 1995 and onwards such as Mouton Rothschild and Comte de Champagne were mostly ordered and purchased on release in parcel quantities. The wines have been professionally stored in two professional, temperature-controlled cellars in Taipei since.
