Chateau Mouton 1991 (750ml) characteristic of mature white BurgundyThe 1991 exhibits a moderately dark ruby purple color, as well as a promising and complex nose of such classic Pauillac aromas as lead pencil, roasted nuts, and ripe cassis. The initial richness is quickly obliterated by frightful levels of tannin, and a tough, hard finish. Although there is an interesting and alluring dimension to this wine, the tannin level is excessively high and the wine is likely to dry out after 10 15 years of cellaring. Readers
