I was surprised by this showing given the vintage, yet the 1971 Château Mouton Rothschild showed impressively well, revealing a youthful deeper plum hue as well as terrific Mouton ripe fruits, chocolate, tobacco, and earth-driven aromas and flavors. Nicely textured, medium-bodied, and incredibly charming, with integrated tannins and acidity, it's not a blockbuster, but it’s a fully mature, delicious wine. By Jen Dunnuck, Dec 2020.
This wine, which was a medium-weight, charming example in its youth, continues to develop well. Recent bottles have been the finest I have tasted of the 1971 Mouton-Rothschild. The color remains a deep dark garnet with some amber at the edge. The wine offers up a classic Pauillac nose of cedar, black currants, and lead pencil aromas. On the palate, it reveals a savory, sweet, cedary, currant flavor profile with good freshness, adequate acidity, and ripe tannin. By Robert Parker, Jan 1998. |
