1943 Mouton

Dinner at logy in Taipei.

1943 Mouton-Rothschild, rebouchée au château en 2003, purchased from the Sotheby's Mouton-Rothschild ex-château auction January 30, 2015 - around half the bottle was served in the first round, and around 10 minutes in the nose opened up to reveal smoke and stewed fruits. Understandably acidity on the palate was on the high side, but the wine was still very fresh considering its age. About 20 minutes after open the nose developed further with woodsy fragrance. Almost 1½ hours in, there was a hint of sweet grass on the nose.

Since the wine was recorked in 2003 at the grand old age of 60 years, the cork looks pretty new.
