Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1959
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Offered in a carton. Slightly corroded capsule. Bin-soiled label. Level just below top-shoulder
Tasting Note: I am always blown away by the 1959 Mouton, one of the greatest Moutons made in the last thirty-five years. Astonishingly young and unevolved, with a black/purple color, the wine exhibits a youthful nose of cassis, minerals, and new oak. It is exceptionally powerful and super-extracted, with the fruit supported by high levels of tannin and some lusty quantities of alcohol. This mammoth, full-bodied Mouton-Rothschild should continue to evolve for another 20-30 years. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition #B1 (Jan 1998)
