FINE BORDEAUX INCLUDING MOUTON AND MARGAUX 1982
Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1982
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden cases. Six corroded capsules in lot 105. Very slightly bin-soiled labels, except one damaged in lot 105. Levels: lot 103 base of neck or better, lot 104 top-shoulder or better, lot 105 seven top, two upper, two mid/upper, one mid-shoulder
Tasting note: 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.
