Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1945
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Lot 567 levels: upper/top and upper shoulders. Lot 568 levels: top shoulder. Lot 569 levels: bottom neck and upper shoulder; labels are damaged; one with loose label. Lot 570 levels: top and upper shoulder. Lot 571 levels: upper/top and upper shoulder. All lots bin soiled labels and capsules cut to reveal vintage branded corks
The power and spiciness surges out of the glass like a sudden eruption of Mount Etna:cinnamon, eucalyptus, ginger, 'Friars Balsam' (noted once). Impossible to describe but inimitable, incomparable, and, because of this and its appearance, several times "guessed" blind. There is simply no other wine like it. Its taste is a component of smell, its fragrance is reflected on the palate. Still lovely, still vivacious. Seemingly tireless - indeed another half century anticipated. Last tasted blind, and immediately recognised, at Wilfred Jaeger's mountain-top late lunch, June 2001 ****** (6 stars) MB, Vintage Wine
