Community Tasting Note

Thursday, May 25, 2017 - I'm having issues rating this somewhat above the 90+ points.

Bottle in pristine condition. Clean label and very good level 2 cm under cork )
Cork was really soaked and pulled out in two pieces ( luckily nothing fell inside ).
The colour was very unattractive. Quite muddy and brackish. Not appealing.
Nose was quite good, some dried tobacco, earthy, dried fruits and spices.
Flavour somewhat neutral, I could very very barely detect some dried fruits.
Finish was again disappointing, very dry and not really appealing to me.
Its always hit or miss with these old bottles, this ( for me ) was a miss.

Drink up ... fast. This is downhill and has been for quite a while it seems.

Shame .... guess I'll have to get back to old Mouton Rothschild bottles :-)
