此款醇厚的 Mouton 酒于 1997 年 6 月份裝瓶。相對于酒力更加強勁的 1996 年份的同款酒，此酒更加平易近人。它由 72% 的 Cabernet Sauvignon、9% 的 Cabernet Franc 和 19% 的 Merlot 混釀而成，酒液呈深紫色，帶有黑醋栗、松露、咖啡、甘草和香料的香氣，這些香氣稍顯內斂。入口后，此酒呈現(xiàn)出大酒的特點，濃稠度高，酒體豐滿，口感豐富。余味醇厚，富有層次，并持續(xù)了 40 秒。它特別純正，單寧含量高，但我的直覺告訴我：相對于健碩宏大的 1996 年份的同款酒，此酒酸度更低，更佳豐滿。這兩款酒都是 Mouton-Rothschild 的精心之作。預期成熟時間：2004 年至 2030 年。

While the 1995 Mouton Rothschild has begun to soften somewhat in the last six or seven years, it remains remarkably youthful. Offering up a deep and primary bouquet of ripe cassis fruit and creamy new oak, it's medium to full-bodied, rich and layered, with a vibrant core of concentrated fruit, powdery tannins and a long, resonant finish. This is a pure, beautifully balanced Mouton that simply hasn't evolved very much, even as it closes in on its third decade. While I can attest that it can be drunk with great enjoyment today, real complexity has yet to emerge.

Aromas of ripe fruit and grilled meat follow through to a full-bodied palate, with velvety tannins and a long caressing finish. Very beautiful wine. Mouton shows finesse yet richness in this vintage.--'95/'96 Bordeaux retrospective. Best after 2007. -JS
