Description
Château Mouton Rothschild 1961
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé
u. vhs, #0272, good color and clarity, slightly soiled label otherwise good general appearance
Label Artist: Georges Mathieu
Glorious, sweet, perfumed bouquet - this could only be a First when, officially, it was not at this time! So much for the rulebook. The most classic Mouton nose that has huge affinity with the 1945. Total seduction on the palate. Terrific sweet/meaty taste and lovely lingering length of enormous elegance showing that this landmark wine has now fined down from its monumental beginnings. Such an incredible sweet finish. Sheer perfection. My last bottle in 2015 was just so irony and tremendously structured, incredibly tannic with such mineral intensity. A wonder of the wine world and a riveting stylistic contrast with the luscious 1959. It goes on for ever and is a bit 'mysterious', like all great wines. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
