1986
Château Mouton Rothschild (Pauillac)
Still stubbornly tannic, and firm, it's a wine that impresses, but does not please. Old-school in style and character, there is a wall of tannin that is still waiting to soften. All the parts are there in spades, the fruits are ripe, the aromatics are plentiful, there is ample concentration, but where is the joy? I have no idea what the 28s tased like in their youth, but I imagine they were about like this. Drink from 2026-2086. 567 Views Tasted Apr 1, 2026 |

1975
Château Mouton Rothschild (Pauillac)
Tobacco, cedar, old wood, herbs, bright red currants, cranberry and peppery leaves cram the nose. The palate lacks charm, dusty, dry, rustic, and firm in a very old-school manner; this is just not my style. Others might like it more than I did. On the bright side, there is no hurry to pop a bottle. Drink from 2026-2050. 155 Views Tasted Apr 1, 2026 |

1959
Château Mouton Rothschild (Pauillac)
The explosive perfume led you down a path of mint, cigar wrappers, forest floor, cedar, spices, currants, blackberries, cocoa, and chalk.

1949
Château Mouton Rothschild (Pauillac)
This was from another world. What a wine! Words are inadequate, but I'll try. The explosive perfume shot out its red with black currants, menthol, caramel, cigar ash, tobacco, smoke, and Indian spices with ease. The palate was equal to the task with its waves of bright, crisp, spicy currants infused with tobacco. Almost creamy and silky in texture, the finish was long, seamless, and simply gorgeous. What a wine! Drink from 2026-2039. 83 Views Tasted Apr 1, 2026 |
