Château Mouton Rothschild--Vintage 1945
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Both capsules cut to reveal branded corks. One magnum recorked in the 1990's. Recorked bottle with replacement one part label, badly creased, faded and bin-soiled. Level top-shoulder. Bottle with original cork has original two part label, bin-soiled. Level upper-shoulder. In carton Tasting Note: A consistent 100-point wine (only because my point scale stops at that number), the 1945 Mouton-Rothschild is truly one of the immortal wines of the century. This wine is easily identifiable because of its remarkably exotic, over-ripe, sweet nose of black fruits, coffee, tobacco, mocha, and Asian spices. It is an extraordinarily dense, opulent, and rich wine, with layers of creamy fruit, behaving more like a 1947 Pomerol than a structured, powerful, and tannic 1945. The wine finishes with a 60+ second display of ripe fruit, extract, and sweet tannin. This remarkably youthful wine (only light amber at the edge) is mindboggling! Will it last another 50 years? Last tasted 8/97. Robert Parker. Bordeaux Book 3rd Edition (1998)
