Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1982
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Lot 816 levels: bottom neck or better. Lot 817 levels: nine bottom neck or better and three upper/top shoulder. Lot 818 ten bottom neck and two very top shoulder
Lot 816-817 in original wooden cases
"I have always felt the 1982 Mouton was perfect, yet this immortal effort might be capable of lasting for 100 years! Readers who want to drink it are advised to decant it for at least 12-24 hours prior to consumption. I suggest double decanting, i.e., pouring it into a clean decanter, washing out the bottle, and then repouring it back into the bottle, inserting the cork, leaving the air space to serve as breathing space until the wine is consumed 12-24 hours later. The improvement is striking. The fact that it resists oxidation is a testament to just how youthful it remains, and how long it will last. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2075." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Issue 129.
