1978 Mouton Rothschild

1978 Château Mouton Rothschild;
A level fill, soaked cork. Ruby with brick rim. Leather, somewhat exotic, cassis, plums, cherries, rich if not too intense nose, spices and sweet tobacco. Fresh acidity, tannins soon gone, somewhat lean, mouthwatering if not a great Mouton, it manages to give more pleasure than most wines at this score. 90
