Château Mouton-Rothschild, 1er Cru Classé, Pauillac 1997 1x150cl

88-91? Points, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous Very good red-ruby color. Currant, cassis, roasted nuts, gunsmoke, chocolate and a note of surmaturite Fat, sweet and expansive, but with sound underlying structure. Lowish acids and a confit note (due at least partly to passerillage, or drying of the grapes by the wind and sun) contribute to the wine almost voluptuous texture.Review Date: 01 May 98
