Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1995
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Lot 256 in original wooden case
Parcel: lots 257-258
"Bottled in June, 1997, this profound Mouton is more accessible than the more muscular 1996. A blend of 72 Cabernet Sauvignon, 9 Cabernet Franc, and 19 Merlot, it reveals an opaque purple color, and reluctant aromas of cassis, truffles, coffee, licorice, and spice. In the mouth, the wine is "great stuff," with superb density, a full-bodied personality, rich mid-palate, and a layered, profound finish that lasts for 40+ seconds. There is outstanding purity and high tannin, but my instincts suggest this wine is lower in acidity and slightly fleshier than the brawnier, bigger 1996. Both are great efforts from Mouton-Rothschild. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2030." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 115 (Feb 1998)
