The 1959 Château Mouton Rothschild is an undisputed titan of the wine world, universally recognized as one of the greatest, most profound Bordeaux vintages ever made. Frequently rated a perfect 100 points, this legendary release is a monumental "mammoth" of a wine that has aged for nearly seven decades with jaw-dropping vitality.
Critic tasting note: (1959 vintage) "The '59 Mouton is without doubt one of the best red wines that the estate has ever produced - but certainly the best since 1945 and up to 1986. If you are lucky enough to encounter this almost sixty-five-year-old youngster in perfect form, then you imagine yourself in ʺ7th Bordeaux heavenʺ. Carried by full-bodied, juicy tannins, full of fine and integrated fruit; a wine with volume and length that leaves you in awe. Fine acidity evokes red berryish nuances in the finish, a perfectly grown-up and superlative wine with certain ageing potential, probably for decades. (12/2023, drink - 2060)." - Falstaff
