Château Mouton Rothschild – Château Mouton Rothschild 1978

The Château Mouton Rothschild 1978, a Pauillac Premier Grand Cru Classé typically built from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot at around 12.5% alcohol, was unfortunately not enjoyable, scoring only 79 points. The ullage on this bottle was not ideal, so this was almost certainly a storage-related exception rather than a fair reflection of the wine's overall quality at over four decades of age.
