(1995). Most recently, a richly coloured, fully mature magnum with good crisp fruit, vivacity and dry finish.

(6-2000). The 1955 vintage in Bordeaux marks the boundary between wines of the past and more modern wines, made from riper grapes. I have never been disappointed by a 1955, whilst 59 and 61 sometimes leave me wanting more. The color has remained young, dark, intense with vermilion notes on the rim. The intense nose exudes blackcurrant, cedar, spice, an ensemble of great finesse. From the attack, the suavity of the sensations marks the palate. The round, juicy body, full of freshness, has the taste of ripe fruit and nutmeg. The whole melts gracefully and just as in the 62 and 61, the tannin appears fine, not grainy. It simply recalls old vines. Beautiful length. I had tasted it better a few months earlier (18.5), yet the bottle came from the same case and the same place. This vintage is a good buy just like the 83.

. The 1955 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 reveals no amber or rust, only a slight lightening of intensity at the edge. The nose offers up that explosive Mouton perfume of mint, leather, cassis, black olives, and lead pencil. In the mouth, there is stunning concentration, magnificent extraction of fruit, and plenty of tannin in the long finish. The wine still tastes remarkably young and could easily last another 20-30 years. Amazing!.

(5-1991). 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.

Château Mouton Rothschild

Château Mouton Rothschild is one of the most iconic wine estates in the world. Located in the Pauillac appellation, it is the only estate in the official Bordeaux wine classification of 1855 to have been elevated to the rank of Premier Cru Classé in 1973, having initially been classified as a Deuxième Cru.

Acquired in 1853 by Nathaniel de Rothschild, the estate — then known as Brane-Mouton — became Château Mouton Rothschild and entered into legend under the impetus of Baron Philippe de Rothschild. A visionary, he profoundly modernized the vineyard, developed the cellars, and imposed an absolute commitment to quality, making Mouton one of the greatest wines of Bordeaux. His motto illustrates this unique ascent: "Premier je suis, second je fus, Mouton ne change."

The singularity of Mouton Rothschild is also expressed through its artistic labels, illustrated each year by great contemporary artists, reinforcing its cultural and heritage aura. This pursuit of excellence can also be found in the other properties of the Rothschild family, notably Château Clerc Milon and Château d'Armailhac.

From the mythical 1945 and 1961 vintages to the 1982 vintage and the 1996 wine, through to a more recent year such as the 2004 wine, the wines of Château Mouton Rothschild rank among the most coveted in the world of wine. The estate complements its grand wine with a second wine, Le Petit Mouton, created in 1993, and a rare white, Aile d'Argent.
