Product Description
Robert Parker writes, "The superb 1997 Mouton-Rothschild is composed of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot. This wine reveals a sensationally flamboyant nose of black fruits, coffee, licorice, and creme de cassis. Medium-bodied, with sweet tannin, with lots of layers of flavor. It possesses good spice, an opulent texture, and remarkable length. This is a very hedonistic, open-knit Mouton that has put on considerable weight. Only 55% of the crop made it into the 1997 Mouton." Published: Apr 22, 1999
Niki de Saint Phalle
Niki de Saint Phalle (1930–2002), born in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, grew up in New York, where her parents resided. As a young woman, she worked as a model for leading American magazines and began studying music.
Between 1965 and 1970, she created and exhibited her first “Nanas,” opulent, polychrome female figures whose curves challenged contemporary beauty standards. These sculptures became emblematic of her work and led to a series of fantastical, often monumental creations, such as the Cyclop at Milly-la-Forêt, the Golem in Jerusalem, and the Tarot Garden in Tuscany. In 1982, with Tinguely, she created the celebrated Stravinsky Fountain near the Pompidou Centre in Paris. By the late 1990s, she was living in San Diego and, alongside architect Mario Botta, conceived a monumental Noah’s Ark for the year 2000.
For Mouton Rothschild 1997, Niki de Saint Phalle composed a sparkling, festive allegory of the pleasures of the table, featuring elements from the sun to a plate, a sensual mouth, and an outstretched hand. Traversing the painting is the “Niki-object,” inspired by the age-old story of the serpent tempter. However, instead of offering the traditional apple, this serpent, more wine-loving than malicious, presents Eve with a bottle—presumably of Mouton Rothschild 1997!
