Parker 98 points : This is the highest score I have ever given this wine, which I have found to be distressingly variable in quality, much like the consistently inconsistent 1970. This bottle was just about everything one could desire in a great Mouton. Huge, cedary, cassis, lead pencil, menthol-like aromas soared from the glass. The black/purple color revealed no signs of lightening or amber at the edge. Full-bodied, rich, and super-intense, ...

The Story

Château Mouton Rothschild A Premier Cru Classé in 1973, Château Mouton Rothschild, owned by Baroness Philippine de Rothschild, consists of 205 acres of vines near Pauillac, in the Médoc, North West of the city of Bordeaux. This Premier Cru benefits from exceptionally good natural conditions, both in the quality of the soil, the position of its vines and their exposure to the sun. It is regarded today as one of the world's greatest wine.

Wine Information

1961 – Georges Mathieu / Dynamic Lines and Red Dot
Georges Mathieu is a representative of the Art Informel movement of French art. He was born in 1921 in Boulogne-sur-Mer (Pas-de-Calais). First, Matthieu studied philosophy and law; at the age of 21 he turned to painting and created realistic landscapes and portraits. Soon, his imagery became inspired by more abstract forms. He abhorred geometric abstraction, however. Beginning in 1944, Mathie...

1961 - the greatest Bordeaux vintage ever?

I’m writing this during the en primeur campaign and notice that the Bordelais château-owners and négociants have been unusually quiet this year. I have followed this part of the market from a distance for close to 30 years now and have been told about a large number of “vintages of the century”. After the wines have been bottled and sold or the other way round, as the case is in Bordeaux, these cla...

The 1961 Mouton Rothschild was full of chocolaty deliciousness.  It was mature, jammy, creamy and zippy with a nice slaty finish.  The Hamburglar pointed out the ‘opulent’ warm vintage, and its rich and roasted flamboyant style backed up that argument (95).

Extraordinary to even see a bottle of this, let alone try it. Others at the tasting who had seen it before spoke of it being even better in years gone by but still a wonderful wine. Amazing colour – this is a fifty year old wine and still with great colour. Miracle wine. The colour was much deeper and richer than the '70 Lafite. A wine of rich complexity. Full-flavoured, lovely supple wine. Wonderful Bordeaux. Fully mature, great length. Balanced, concentrated, with very fine tannins. Supple, seamless, sensational. Sits with the very famous years of Mouton – 1945, 1982 etc. Also worth noting that when this wine was made, it was only a Second Growth, not being elevated to First Growth status in 1973. 98

I have tasted Château Mouton-Rothschild 1961 around 15 times, and all of those moments were unforgettable, not because of the place or company, but because of the wine itself, which has simply always been magnificent. This one was even better due to great company I had. Dark, deep and bright colour. Ripe cassis fruit, herbs and sweetness could be sensed in the bouquet. A strangely seductive combination that always works. Very youthful, rich, soft, voluptuous and elegant wine. A balanced acidity and tight fruitiness, long and pampering aftertaste. A gentle but most impressive acquaintance again

The Mouton 1961  is such an expressive wine, with elegance a major factor in its character. It is certainly huge, rich and dense. But there is much more to it. You can peel layers of fruit and tannins away, and still never get to the end of the wine’s complexity. At every stage of its life, it will reveal a new character, but for now it is perheps as good as it gets!

The 1961 Mouton-Rothschild is one of those elusive wines that until now I have never tasted. Deep in colour with remarkably little ageing on the rim, it has a stunning bouquet with blackberry, briary and wild heather aromas. Graphite and leather emerge with time, after five minutes matching the ethereal quality of the Palmer. The palate is beautifully balanced with enormous depth, subtle marine scents infusing the black fruit, later freshly picked mint. There is an effervescent quality about this Mouton-Rothschild, a supremely gifted wine that dares to challenge the supremacy of the 1961 Latour. What a fabulous wine. Tasted at the 1961 dinner Chairman Miaow’s in Hong Kong.

Bright garnet with brick rim, all bottles fill level B to B/C as I could see. Fantastic nose, mature, prunes, liquorice, cedar, pencil, minerals, hay, medicine, blackcurrants, cigars, white chocolate, some coffee and scented black tea. Such complexity and elegance, very mature, perfect now, fresh acidity, ripe and mature tannins, will probably keep another maybe 15 years, but no reason to wait. 99

A beautiful Mouton that does not show its 53 years of age. The light, plush tannins provide that right balance and combination of elegance and intensity. The sweetness has an opulence and roundness which is appealing and the finish is very long. Best now and for the next 5 years under appropriate, cool storage conditions.

A bottle that had been decanted 12 hours previously and, although there was the tiniest suggestion it has not been freshly opened, was absolutely stonking. So rich, sweet and concentrated yet with no dryness at all. Absolutely luscious. So rich, sweet and round - and actually livelier than the 1959 served alongside that had been decanted only a couple of hours before.Tasted: 01-Jun-2015
