Written Notes

The 1929 Mouton Rothschild was ‘sexy’ and ‘alive’ per The Comte.  It was fruity, and I can’t read exactly what I wrote next, but it looks like ‘margarita’ lol.  It was a little grapey, soft and fleshy on the palate with just a touch of vim remaining, but this wine was definitely on the downward slope, but at age 89, there were no complaints (93).
