| 1995 Pauillac |
Chateau Mouton-rothschild | N/A | 95-99 |
Bordeaux | 05/15/96 |
|
| Seduces you with its wonderful cassis, berry, vanilla and mint aromas and flavors. Full body, ultrafine tannins and a long, caressing finish. It's hard to resist even at this stage. |
||||||
| 1945 Pauillac |
Chateau Mouton-rothschild | $2500.00 | 94 |
Bordeaux | 11/30/95 |
|
| Ripe, rich and round, a superbly supple wine
with a backbone of rigid acidity to keep it
leaning urgently forward. Becomes smooth and
polished as it swings into the finish, echoing
spicy black cherry, dried cherry, anise and toast.

| 1961 Pauillac |
Chateau Mouton-rothschild | $775.00 | 92 |
Bordeaux | 04/30/96 |
|
| Subtle in flavor, silky in texture and still
firm with tannins, this Mouton is clearly
outstanding in quality. Elegance, not richness, is
its hallmark, and the melange of spice-earth-fruit
flavors is nearly mature. Drink now through
2005. |
||||||
| 1994 Pauillac |
Chateau Mouton-Rothschild | $135.00 | 91 |
Bordeaux | 01/31/97 |
|
| Dark-colored, with intense aromas of blackberries, tar and spice, and toasted oak notes as well. Full-bodied, with very silky tannins and a chewy, ripe fruit-accented finish. An impressive Mouton. Better in 1999. |
||||||
| 1990 Pauillac |
Chateau Mouton-Rothschild | $119.00 | 90 |
Bordeaux | 09/15/96 |
|
| Full-bodied, with fine tannins and some pretty tobacco, earth and berry aromas and flavors that at the moment are dominated by oak. Not giving much yet; better after 2005. A good sample? |
||||||
| 1994 Pauillac |
Chateau Mouton-rothschild | $85.00 | 90-94 |
Bordeaux | 05/15/96 |
|
| Mouton shows wonderful elegance in its '94, with plenty of tobacco, mint and cassis character and ultrafine, ripe tannins. A complex and enjoyable wine. |
||||||
| 1993 Pauillac |
Chateau Mouton-rothschild | $72.00 | 90 |
Bordeaux | 01/31/96 |
|
| Mouton comes through again. Impressive '93,
deep in color and full-bodied, boasting plenty of
currant, black cherry, mint and toast character.
Well crafted, showing depth for this vintage. Give
the tannins some time to mellow. Try in
2000. |
||||||
| 1985 Pauillac |
Chateau Mouton-Rothschild | $129.00 | 89 |
Bordeaux | 09/15/96 |
|
| Surprisingly elegant, with lovely tobacco, cherry and berry aromas that blossom on the palate. Moderately soft tannins and a sweet, fruity finish. (Second bottle better.) All finesse; ready to drink. |
||||||
| 1990 Pauillac |
CHATEAU MOUTON-ROTHSCHILD | $119.00 | 88 |
Bordeaux | 09/15/96 |
|
| Complex aromas, but very tight and short on the
palate, where more flavor and finesse are
expected. Hints of currant, herb and olive flavors
emerge on the finish, but in the end the tannins
provide a tight cloak. Best after 2002.

| 1985 Pauillac |
CHATEAU MOUTON-ROTHSCHILD | $129.00 | 85 |
Bordeaux | 09/15/96 |
|
| Tight and firm, unfolding gracefully to reveal
a series of complex flavors--currant, earth and
spice--that manage to offset a slightly cheesy
note on the nose. Finishes with an aftertaste
that's a bit stripped. Best after
1999. |
