Had a 1972 vintage on the previous night and it was corked. Didn’t have much expectation. And I was lucky this time round. The wine is singing. Pronounced nose with notes of mushroom, forest floor, spices, toast, cooked red and black fruits. Medium acidity and medium tannin. Medium finish. Will not improve and do not decant.

1972 Bordeaux horizontal tasting: First wine of Pauillac flight. Have had the 72 Mouton a couple times now and this bottle confirms the earlier tastings. Fairly thin with sous bois and a touch of remaining fruit.

Mouton Rothschild Vertical: Unfortunately the wine is corked. Cloudy appearance. Tried slow oxygenation for 5 hours but it did not improve.

Good bottle. No faults. Wine is still drinkable but not really enjoyable anymore. Very tired and flat.
