A bottle of 1953 Château Mouton Rothschild from Bordeaux's Pauillac appellation.
'First tasted in its tenth year and from then on a most lovely wine. I have nearly 20 notes, not one of them less than sensationally good - I see that in 1972 I went over the top and awarded it 6 stars for sheer perfection, and I described its appearance as 'deep and crisp and even', but this was being playful as it was never more than fairly deep. But, as always with Mouton, it is its glittering, dazzling bouquet and flavour, its spiciness, its zest, which attracts. Never a dull moment - just like Baron Philippe himself, and nowadays, epitomised by his daughter Philippine. The most recent notes include a perfect though by now more restrained bottle, and a glorious bottle, displaying Mouton's inimitable blackcurrant aroma, and fragrant, many-layered flavours. Fascinating, great length. Last tasted 2000. 5 Stars'
