1957 – André Masson
Blissfully Happy Wine Drinker

The work of the painter André Masson (1896–1987) is hard to categorise. With his first paintings, he was seen as one of the late Cubists, but he was also an early Surrealist.

Vintage 1957

Written Notes

Tasted seven times with quite similar notes. Today's bottle was in decent condition with a good-looking label and level by the neck. Good, dark and deep colour. Quite open and clean, fresh nose with hints of blackberry and mint aromas. Still quite hard and tannic, but has a lot of character. Still a very vigorous wine, but unquestionably lacks charm and roundness. Warm and bitter finish, but the overall quality is quite far from first-cru quality! Nevertheless a very good result from this difficult vintage.

The 1957 Mouton Rothschild had a beautiful nose full of pretty fruit with lovely red cherry and citrus notes. Its palate combined the red and citrus in elegant fashion. This was just beautiful all around (92).
