Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1983
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Damp-stained labels. Levels base of neck or better
In original wooden case
Tasting note: The classic Mouton lead-pencil, cedary nose has begun to emerge. This medium dark ruby, elegant, medium-bodied wine will never be a great or legendary Mouton. The flavours are ripe and moderately rich. With good depth and some firm tannins to resolve, this offering from Mouton is bigger and richer than the 1981, 1979, or 1978. Austere by the standards of Mouton and the vintage, the 1983 resembles the chateau's fine 1966. Anticipated maturity: Now-2015. Last tasted, 10/90. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book 3rd Edition (1998).
