Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1961 Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1961 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe u. 1ts, 1t/hs, 1 slightly stained label, slightly scuffed labels, partially torn 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. Lot 2307 2 bts (sc) per lot: HKD 20000-28000 per lot: USD 2500-3500 Mouton, as it is affectionately known by all its devotees, is the most opulent and exuberant of all the Firsts, a reflection of the two huge personalities that have headed the Chateau since 1920, Baron Philippe and then Baroness Philippine de Rothschild. The great cassis depths of this wine seduce everyone who appreciates the finest Bordeaux. It is a gloriously forceful, flamboyant wine, voluptuous and powerful. Philippe Dhalluin, Mouton's talented Technical Director, has been at the Chateau since the harvest of 2003 and the stunning beauty of the wines has been further strengthened by meticulous attention to detail in vineyard and cellar. Many of my own greatest wine drinking experiences revolve around Mouton throughout this century and the last. Magnificent Mouton is a sensory photo on the mind that stays with one for life. SS.
