Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1982
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Lot 6 good appearance. Original tissues. Two slightly corroded capsules. One very slightly damaged label edge. Levels: six into neck, five base of neck and one very top-shoulder. Lot 7 excellent appearance. Original tissues. Levels into neck
Tasting Note: A magnificent '82, its higher percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon (80 always very noticeable. At 10 years of age, massively spicy nose and flavour, still youthful but fleshy. Later in the 1990s, mulberry-ripe Cabernet nose, intense, dramatic. Half a dozen recent notes which can be summarised: still fairly deep, rich, dark cherry, positive but mature rim; sweet, glorious fragrance, distinctive Cabernet aroma, great depth, touch of mocha, brown sugar and mild ginger (you name it); very sweet entry, great length, dry finish with lashings of fruit and flesh in between. A great classic, dramatic, Mouton. Last tasted Nov 2005 ***** M.B.
