Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1995

9.5

The most showy bottle I’ve had of this wine, 95 Mouton is in a terrific place, and an absolute classic, with Paulliac power and concentration, fine grained tannins and hugely persistent finish. Fantastic with the legendary EMP duck! — a month ago

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1975

A nice comparison of French St. Julien and French winemaker, in the US with a Napa Cab.
The 1972 vintage was one of the legendary five Cabs selected for the 1976 Paris Tasting.

This 1975, had a deep garnet color with a brick rim. Loads of blackberry on the nose, casis and earthy notes. Fruit forward, black fruit and plum dominate, nice tannins. This wine definitely evolved through the evening.

Previous Notes Apply to the 75 St Julien:
Deep ruby color. Aromas of red fruit, leather and earthy notes. Amazing flavors, blackberry, black currant, tobacco and baking spices.

Sometimes one just needs to be lucky one day and 85 year old guy showed up a the wine tasting in the store with a 1971 Mayacamas Vineyards Cab. An experience i never forget. Because of the wine and the store owner declaring me as underinformed when suggested it was in the tasting. The wine was good but fell apart within 15min.

One of the legendary vintages for Dominus when blind tasted most guessed a Bordeaux 1st growth. This is drinking in its prime at 30 yrs that should drink well for many years, This had an ethereal nose, silky texture with good length & balance showing notes of red, black fruits, cedar, leather, lead pencil, sweet, savory spices, licorice, tobacco & floral tones — 4 years ago

Has always been the greatest Bordeaux wine produced in California & one of my favorites. Purchased 8- 6pks on release sadly only 1 case left.

@Ron Siegel Well done ! Tasted this blind in the early years of my wine education, disliked it immensely. Fast forward maybe a decade and tasted blind again, “Wow this is one of the best red wines I have ever tasted”. Friends to this day ridicule me.

Sipping Fine Wine

9.1

Opened another recently, legendary wine, said that in the 18th century was introduced to Sultan of Constantinople's palace b/c of its clarity and called "mineral water from Carbonnieux", defying Islamic law. Pale lemon with pronounce aromas of tropical and stone fruits with herb notes. On the palate flavors of melon, mango, apple, green herbs and a crisp mineral edge. Medium+ length, balanced acidity, ending with a fruit, citrus mineral character. Nice, aging well. — 4 years ago
