CHATEAU MOUTON ROTHSCHILD 1961 Château Mouton Rothschild 1961 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé Excellent levels and appearance, good color and clarity, original labels and new capsules, recorked at the Château in 2011 HARVEST DATE: 2 October LABEL ARTIST: Georges Mathieu 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. Serena Sutcliffe, MW 3 bts (owc) Estimates are per lot
