LeDomduVin: Château Mouton-Rothschild 1961 close-up

Château Mouton-Rothschild 1961

Although I left my position as Wine Quality Control Director, nearly a year ago, after doing it for 9 years in my previous job, I still love doing wine inspections and checking out these old and rare ladies in every detail. 

A few days ago, I had the opportunity to do a brief inspection of a few bottles that were bought by the wine team of one of our outlets, which included some old and rare gems, like this Mouton 1961. 

Always a pleasure to scrutinize these ladies everywhere and even gently lift up their capsule to look at what's underneath, whenever possible. 😀 😄 (we're still talking about a bottle of wine, right? 😉)

This particular bottle showed a great level, good colour and sedimentation. Despite a few nicks, scratches and tears, the capsule and label were in good condition and show no counterfeiting signs, even under the microscope and the blue light. 

That's a "Passed" for me! How about you?  What do you think? 

Cheers! Santé! 

Dom
