Château Mouton Rothschild 1961 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé1 bt - u. t/hs, label damp soiled and slightly scuffed, capsule slightly corroded, 3 bts - u. 2t/hs, 1hs, labels bin soiled, 2 importer's slip slightly covering the main labels, short capsules revealing fully branded corks, capsules slightly corroded, from different importersLabel Artist: Georges Mathieu In 2019, what an extraordinary, magical bouquet of sheer class, ripeness and allure. On the palate, it is the refinement and the sweetness, combined with the elegant, silky texture that astonish. Just when you think you have reached the end of the experience, the flavour goes off again like the second stage of a rocket, enfolding you in enchantment. This is a chef d'oeuvre and remains an absolute landmark in my wine-drinking life. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 984 bts (2 cn)Estimates are per lot
