Details
Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1945
Pauillac, 1er cru classé.
Bottle numbers and conditions: Lot AAA 65399 just below top shoulder. Back label: "sold at Christie's London, 27 November, 1969, lot 123. Lot BBB 14471 top shouler, 13197, 13877, 14512, 13143 just below top shoulder, 13173 upper shoulder. With original wooden case. All labels lightly soiled.
"Incredible bouquet; immediately forthcoming with a vigorous fragrance, a sort of essence of Cabernet Sauvignon. Spicy, cinnamon, eucalyptus... Like the Latour it appears to have become sweeter but is still full-bodied, very rich, very concentrated, mouthfilling, spicy, still borne aloft by its alcohol, acidity and tannin, although the latter are softening - a little. What a wine. I have often given it 21 out of 20, and six stars!" GVWB
