Tasting notes
(Magnum) Last Tasted 6/92 While attractive, the sweet, spicy, gingery nose lacks ripeness of fruit. In the mouth, this wine exhibits structured, firm, medium-bodied flavors, good depth, but tough tannins and relatively high acidity in the finish. Although there is plenty of character, the wine finishes with a lean, rustic feel. Owners of the 1952 Mouton-Rothschild can easily cellar it for another ten or more years, but I doubt whether any more joy will emerge.
