Château Mouton-Rothschild 1959
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Corroded and damaged capsules, bin-soiled labels, damp-affected
Levels one top shoulder, two upper shoulder, two mid-upper shoulder, and one mid-low shoulder
Tasting Note: In Nov 2003: still deep, rich, with a fine mature rime; sweet on nose and palate, a Mulberry ripe bouquet; full-flavoured, great length, spicy ‘like Heitz Martha’s vineyard’. Most recently, its spicy, clove-like, nose almost a caricature of itself, reminding me of the ’45 and of – again – Martha’s eucalyptus. Overall sweet, audacious, lovely. Dry finish. Last tasted Nov 2005. At frequent best ****** MJB
