Note di degustazione
The 1929 Mouton-Rothschild is the oldest bottle I have tasted from this First Growth, although of course, it was a mere "Deuxième Cru" when Baron Philippe de Rothschild made this gorgeous wine. The color was commensurate with its age, showing moderate signs of bricking on the rim, but a healthy color. The bouquet is very typical of this vintage: decayed red fruit indicative of once fleshy, fruit-driven aromatics, cedar, mahogany bureau and a hint of molasses -- all elegant and very refined, holding up in the glass over 20-30 minutes. The palate still displays sublime balance with much greater depth and harmony than the 1929 Beychevelle tasted the previous month. It is complex and nuanced, mulberry and sandalwood, a faint touch of wild mint, Vervain tea emerging with time. It is a glorious Pauillac in its dotage, certainly one of the finest wines that I have encountered from the vintage. It encapsulates everything that mature Bordeaux is about. Tasted October 2016.

The ancient cork had crumbled and wine was slightly hazy, a sort of sludgy mid ruby. Still excitingly vibrant on the nose. Broad, fresh and quite racy. Meaty and dense. Finesse, sweetness and slightly medicinal rather than rich and fleshy at this point in its long life. Amazing survival. Sighed Michael Broadbent,'These wines won't live forever.' (JR)
