Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1955
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Lot 120 levels: two upper, four upper-mid and two mid shoulder. Lot 121 levels: One very top, five top and six upper-shoulder
"The 1955 should be a vintage to buy at auction as I suspect the price is more reasonable than what such acclaimed vintages as 1959 and 1961 fetch. The color reveals no amber or rust, only a slight lightening of intensity at the edge. The nose offers up that explosive Mouton perfume of mint, leather, cassis, black olives, and lead pencil. In the mouth, there is stunning concentration, magnificent extraction of fruit, and plenty of tannin in the long finish. The wine still tastes remarkably young and could easily last another 20-30 years. Amazing! Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, #95 (Oct 1994)
