Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1949
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Stained label at edges. Level: upper/top shoulder
Great post-war vintage. Baron Philippe told me on more than one occasion that of all his Mouton vintages, this was his favourite to drink. I can see why, it is unquestionably the finest of all the '49s. It had - still has - an unmistakable fragrance and deftness of touch. Now fully mature of course, but when last tasted, in the mid-1990s , its bouquet gushed exotically. A most exciting wine. Beginning to dry out a little but should be excellent in magnum. MB.
