Château Mouton-Rothschild 1961
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Corroded and damaged capsule. Faded and bin-soiled label. Level: upper-shoulder. Slip label stating Mr Bruno Pagliai, Mexico City
Tasting note: Huge, cedary, cassis, lead pencil, menthol-like aromas soared from the glass. The black/purple color revealed no signs of lightening or amber at the edge. Full-bodied, rich, and super-intense, this was an a profound bottle of 1961 Mouton that would have stood up against the compelling 1959. I have found the 1961 Mouton-Rothschild to be distressingly variable in quality, much like the consistently inconsistent 1970. At its best the wine is a great Mouton. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate Bordeaux Book 3rd Edition, January 1998
