Written Notes

Not a very successful year for Bordeaux or Mouton. Medium red, already showing some orange-brown at trim. A bit madeirised, leathery and tobacco nose. Still quite tannic. Too bitter and seriously lacking ripe fruit. Not in good balance and the structure was simple and weak. But still in some way quite pleasant for an off vintage. Finished short and vegetal.

The 1974 Mouton Rothschild is one of those vintages that would fall under the ‘lowest of expectations’ category. Its nose led us in that direction, showing a funky, ripe and tangy nose that was wild and woolly, with tomato and tobasco aromas. The palate was much better than the nose, but it still had sour cherry flavors and that overmaturity that said, ‘if you only saw me twenty years ago’ (85).
