Details
Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Offered duty-paid, but available in bond
Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1982
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Lot 230 Very slightly damp-stained labels. Lot 231 slightly damp-stained labels. Levels into neck
In original wooden cases
Tasting Note: Over two dozen notes, consistently good. A magnificent '82, its higher percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon (80 always very noticeable. At 10 years of age, massively spicy nose and flavour, still youthful but fleshy. Later in the 1990s, mulberry-ripe Cabernet nose, intense, dramatic. Half a dozen recent notes which can be summarised: still fairly deep, rich, dark cherry, positive but mature rim; sweet, glorious fragrance, distinctive Cabernet aroma, great depth, touch of mocha, brown sugar and mild ginger (you name it); very sweet entry, great length, dry finish with lashings of fruit and flesh in between. A great classic, dramatic, Mouton. Last tasted Nov 2005 ***** M.B.
