Mouton Rothschild (High-Shoulder Fill)- 1978 (750ml) Barbera perhaps even outclassing the gaffThe 1978 is a vegetal, cedary, coffee, and berry scented Mouton. It is pleasant, but lacks the concentration and depth expected of a first growth. The wine is medium bodied, with a slight greenness to its curranty, earthy flavors, and moderately astringent, bitter tannin in the finish. It is a pleasant wine that is unlikely to develop additional complexity or richness. Robert Parker 85 points
