Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1959
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
A Lalande & Co slip label. Bottle number M1986. Bin-soiled label. Level base of neck
Tasting note: I am always blown away by the 1959 Mouton, one of the greatest Moutons made in the last thirty-five years. Every time I have this wine it is undeniable that Mouton made a richer, more persuasive wine in 1959 than in 1961. 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. It may well be a 100-year wine! Last tasted 3/97. 100 points. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition January 1998
