Robert Parker (97)

This wine was so good I thought it was the 1959 Mouton. This should be a vintage to buy at auction as I suspect the price is more reasonable than what such acclaimed vintages as 1959 and 1961 fetch. The color revealed no amber or rust, only a slight lightening of intensity at the edge. The nose offered up that explosive Mouton perfume of mint, leather, cassis, black olives, and lead pencil. In the mouth, there was stunning concentration, magnificent extraction of fruit, and plenty of tannin in the long finish. The wine tasted remarkably young and could easily last another 20-30 years. Amazing!

A blockbuster that is superbly youthful despite its age, offering a symphony of seductive aromas and flavors of mint, cassis, black currant, chocolate and vanilla. An enormous wine to cellar until at least 2000
