Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1961 Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1961 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe u. 1bn, 1vts, 1ts, 2t/hs, excellent color and clarity, slightly soiled labels, 1 label heavily wine stained at base, 2 slightly corroded capsules Glorious, sweet, perfumed bouquet - this could only be a First when, officially, it was not at this time! So much for the rulebook. The most classic Mouton nose that has huge affinity with the 1945. Total seduction on the palate. Terrific sweet/meaty taste and lovely lingering length of enormous elegance showing that this landmark wine has now fined down from its monumental beginnings. Such an incredible sweet finish. Sheer perfection. My last bottle, in 2008, was just so irony and tremendously structured, incredibly tannic with such mineral intensity. A wonder of the wine world and a riveting stylistic contrast with the luscious 1959. SS. See illustration Lot 6960 5 bts (sc) per lot: HKD 38000-60000 per lot: USD 5000-7500 Quantity: 1
