Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1959 Pauillac, 1er Cru C

Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1959
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe
u. four top shoulder, three top-high shoulder, one high shoulder, all with capsule corosion and bin soil
"I am always blown away by the 1959 Mouton, one of the greatest Moutons made in the last thirty-five years. Every time I have this wine it is undeniable that Mouton made a richer, more persuasive wine in 1959 than in 1961. Astonishingly young and unevolved, with a black/purple color, the wine exhibits a youthful nose of cassis, minerals, and new oak. It is exceptionally powerful and super-extracted, with the fruit supported by high levels of tannin and some lusty quantities of alcohol. This mammoth, full-bodied Mouton-Rothschild should continue to evolve for another 20-30 years. It may well be a 100-year wine! Last tasted 3/97." R. Parker, 100 pts, 01/98
8 bottles (owc - lid partially missing)
