1997 Chateau Mouton Rothschild, Pauillac, France Red Bordeaux Wine

90-91 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cell "Deep ruby. Exotic, enticing aromas of black fruits, cherry cough syrup, roast coffee and caramel, along with pungent oakiness. Sweet, fat and thick in the mouth, but with adequate framing acidity. Quite ripe on the back end, with much finer tannins than the foregoing '97s." 90 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate " Only 55% of the harvest was utilized for the 1997 Mouton-Rothschild. One of the most forward and developed Moutons over recent years, it possesses all the charm and fleshiness this vintage can provide.
