MOUTON AND MARGAUX FROM A SWISS COLLECTION
Château Mouton-Rothschild 1970
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Réserve du Château
In original tissues. Two corroded capsules and seven damaged. Badly bin-soiled and glue stained labels. Levels: four very top-soulder, two top-shoulder, four upper-shoulder and two upper/mid-shoulder
Tasting note: In the 1990s, noticeable bottle variation, fragrant but higher than usual volatile acidity. Add: two recent notes at major Mouton tastings: attractive colour, open-rimmed, now mature; tea-like fragrance, slightly peppery, vegetal, uneven bouquet opening up, sweet, touch of brown sugar; dry, austere, rather raw and 'edgy'; drying finish. 'Flawed'. Not to say that it is not flavoury but not a good Mouton or a '70. Last tasted Nov 2005. At best *** Drink soon. MB
