THE GREAT MOUTON ROTHSCHILD 1945
Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1945
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Scuffed and slightly damaged capsules. Bin-soiled labels, very slightly damaged in lots 20 and 21. Levels: lot 20 and 21 upper-shoulder, lot 22 low-shoulder
Tasting note: One of the greatest clarets of all time, certainly the most distinctive. Dozens of notes made since 1954, 10 within the last 2 years. Virtually identical notes made in the autumn of 2005: still impressively deep with a jewel-like ruby sheen; inimitably exotic bouquet, an eruption of spice, eucalyptus, lavender and violets; amazingly sweet, wonderful fruit, concentrated yet vivacious, crisp, endless length. Still tannic. Last tasted Nov 2005 ****** Seemingly indestructible. M.B.
