Details
Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1949
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Lot 22 slightly bin-soiled label with small hole. Level upper-shoulder, Lot 23 one label slightly stained. Levels: one top and one mid-shoulder
Tasting Note:...20 occasions and have from the start found it enchanting, rich and ripe yet with an indefinable delicacy, and a complete contrast to the unquestionably magnificent, lordly, '45. Perhaps its secret lies in the modest alcoholic content: 10.5 Most recently, a medium-deep autumnal colour; vivacious, fragrant, floral bouquet; rich yet with a lacy delicacy, and exquisite flavour. Last tasted Nov 2003 ****** (six stars. But drink before it starts to fade away.) M.B.
