Details
Château Mouton Rothschild--Vintage 1961
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Capsule cut and repaired in Christie's warehouse to reveal fully branded cork. Good label, slightly creased. Level between upper and top-shoulder in slope shouldered bottle. In carton
Tasting Note: Most recently: glorious, deep, velvety appearance, still with youthful plummy colour; at first sniff, almost a 'clone' of the '45, spicy, whiff of tobacco. Fairly sweet, very spicy, crisp, great length, dry finish. Delicious. Dramatic but not overdone. Last tasted November 2005 ***** Time in hand. M.B.
