Tasting notes
One of my favorite vintages for this château, the 1955 Mouton Rothschild continues to drink beautifully, offering up aromas of cassis, exotic spices, grilled ceps, dark chocolate, cigar box and rich loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, rich and concentrated, with velvety but still abundant tannins, bright acids and an immensely long, penetrating finish, it's a profound, intensely characterful wine that continues to maintain a remarkably high level of quality.

Still dark in color, the impossible to forget aromatics were filled with Asian spice, truffle, cigar box, cedar wood, fresh strawberry jam, incense, coffee and mint. Packed with layers of sweet, rich, intense, pure, exotic spices and fruit, with plush, opulent, sexy textures, the wine remains on your palate for more than 60 seconds! 97 Points
