Written Notes

The 1928 Mouton Rothschild was surprisingly lighter than the Palmer.  There was more dryness showing in the Mouton, along with more cobwebs and old library.  This bottle was on the drier side and no match for the Palmer despite a pleasing personality in general (94).

Tasted in April 2018 during dinner at Domaine de Chevalier. Classy nose with truffles, great structure and balance, very elegant and sophisticated. Great bottle - still very alive and classy wine.
