Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
In original wooden cases
Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1982
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Damaged original tissues. One very slightly corroded capsule, one slightly damaged capsule. Four very slightly bin-soiled labels, two slightly bin-soiled. Levels into neck
Tasting note: Over two dozen notes, consistently good. 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.
