Château Mouton Rothschild--Vintage 1982
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Lot 77 two damaged capsules. Excellent appearance, some labels very slightly bin-soiled and damaged. Levels ten base of neck or better and two top-shoulder. In original wooden case. Lot 78 eight very slightly damaged capsules. Excellent appearance, slightly bin-soiled labels. Levels nine base of neck or better and three top-shoulder. In original wooden case. Lot 79 six slightly damaged capsules. Excellent appearance, slightly bin-soiled labels, one bin-soiled and damaged. Levels eigth base of neck and four top-shoulder. In original wooden case
Tasting Note: This wine remains one of the legends of Bordeaux. It has thrown off the backward, youthful style that existed during its first 25 years of life, and over the last 4-5 years has developed such secondary nuances as cedar and spice box. The crème de cassis, underlying floral note, full-bodied power, extraordinary purity, multilayered texture, and finish of over a minute are a showcase for what this Château accomplished in 1982. The wine is still amazingly youthful, vibrant, and pure. It appears capable of remaining fruity and vibrant in 2082! Thank God it is beginning to budge, as I would like to drink most of my supply before I kick the bucket. This is a great, still youthful wine, and, on occasion, one does understand the hierarchy of Bordeaux châteaux when you see the complexity and brilliance of this first-growth. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2050+. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 183 June 2009
