Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1961
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Level: into neck; lead capsule cut for inspection, chateau vintage branded cork, Mouton Rothschild Reserve du Chateau (No. R.C.) label, Establissements Nicolas stamped label. In pristine condition
"Huge, cedary, cassis, lead pencil, menthol-like aromas soared from the glass. The black/purple color revealed no signs of lightening or amber at the edge. Full-bodied, rich, and super-intense, this was an a profound bottle of 1961 Mouton that would have stood up against the compelling 1959. I have found the 1961 Mouton-Rothschild to be distressingly variable in quality, much like the consistently inconsistent 1970. At its best the wine is a great Mouton. Last tasted 10/94" Robert Parker, Bodeaux Book, 3rd Edition (1998)
