FIRST GROWTH BORDEAUX AND LA MISSION HAUT BRION FROM 1953 to 1988
Consigned by a long time Christie's client
Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1953
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Level: mid shoudler; good appearance
"I remember a friend of mine decanting a magnum of the 1953 and sticking it under my nose to share with me the incredible bouquet. In addition to the exotic aromas of soy sauce, new saddle leather, cassis, herbs, and spices, the 1953 offers a deep ruby color with some amber at the edge. Sweet and fat, with voluptuously-textured fruit, this low acid wine has no noticeable tannin. While it may be living dangerously, it is a decadent treat if it is drunk immediately after decanting." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #95 (Oct 1994)
