Château Mouton Rothschild--Vintage 1945
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Lot 106; RC label with remains of tissue adhered, good label under remains of tissue, Calvet slip label. Level top-shoulder.
Lot 107; Slightly bin-soiled label, slightly nicked. Level top-shoulder.
Lot 108; Stained label. Level top-shoulder.
Lot 109; RC label with remains of tissue adhered, good label under remains of tissue, Calvet slip label. Level upper-shoulder.

Lot 111; Cut capsule. Slightly damaged vintage slip, bin-soiled label with handwritten "Christie's" in pencil, Cruse slip label, remains of Averys slip label. Level mid/upper-shoulder
Tasting note: One of the greatest clarets of all time, certainly the most distinctive. Dozens of notes made since 1954, 10 within the last 2 years. Virtually identical notes made in the autumn of 2005: still impressively deep with a jewel-like ruby sheen; inimitably exotic bouquet, an eruption of spice, eucalyptus, lavender and violets; amazingly sweet, wonderful fruit, concentrated yet vivacious, crisp, endless length. Still tannic. Last tasted Nov 2005 ****** Seemingly indestructible. M.B.
