Beschreibung:

Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1961 Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1961 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe u. 1h/m, 2ms, wine comes from different importers, scuffed labels, 2 import labels partially attached to main labels, vintage legible on corks beneath capsules, 2 corroded capsules, excellent color and clarity 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. Lot 91 3 bts (sc) per lot: USD 2500-3500 A small crop that made wines of unparalleled character and intensity. Just putting one's nose in a glass of 1961 sets the scene - the profound persistence of the bouquet could be no other vintage. This is an extraordinary selection of the most fabulous wines made in this historic year. SS. Quantity: 1
