61 Mouton, three bottles side by side.

1961 Chateau Mouton Rothschild;
Bright garnet with brick rim, all bottles fill level B to B/C as I could see. Fantastic nose, mature, prunes, liquorice, cedar, pencil, minerals, hay, medicine, blackcurrants, cigars, white chocolate, some coffe and perfumed black tea. Such complexity and elegance, very mature, perfect now, fresh acidity, ripe and mature tannins, will probably keep another maybe 15 years, but no reason to wait. 99

1961 Chateau Mouton Rothschild;
As the above, but even a bit more intencity and freshness, perfection? 100

1961 Chateau Mouton Rothschild;
This last one was a bit leaner again, more like the first. Everyone of them would get a 100 from me if not tasted side by side. 99

Tasted at a Bruun Rasmussen tasting, they had 3 bottles during the tasting, and I just had to taste all three. You just never get the chance to compare such wines and they're bottle variations, which in this case was very small. Exceptional wines.
