Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1947
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Bin-soiled label. Level top-shoulder
Tasting Note: Youthful when first tasted in 1961. A 'wonderful vintage' wine, ecstatic notes through the 1970s remarking on its magnificent fragrance, concentration, depth, fabulous flavour and lovely aftertaste. Towards the end of the decade 'acidity noticeable'. A gloriously rich, soft, fleshy, elliptically perfect bottle at the Flatt tasting (1986). And so on. More recently, at the Sveass dinner in Oslo, an almost caractured Mouton spiceness on the nose, with a very sweet, exotic flavour and aftertaste. Most recently, another recorked Nicolas bottle with exquisite bouquet. It was a glorious mouthful. Despite the lurking acidity, it was not showing its head over the parapet. March 2001 ***** M.B.
