Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1961
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Lot 342 level: very top shoulder; excellent appearance, serial numbered label GF 711. Lot 343 level: top shoulder; capsule cut for inspection, Château and vintage branded cork, excellent appearance
Lot 342 in original wooden case with original tissue
"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 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, Bordeaux Book 3rd Edition (Jan 1998)
