Chteau Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1945
Pauillac, 1er cru class. Chteau-bottled
Excellent appearance: Lightly bin-soiled label (bottle no. M01165), level base of neck
Tasting note: The greatest ever Mouton. Astonishing still; still a "Churchill of a wine". Tasted well over two dozen times since 1954: "loaded with all good things"; "full of vigour". It has lost scarcely any of its brilliant concentration of colour, opaque-centred, intense, as if it were trying to exert pressure on the sides of the glass. Now showing maturity at the rim. Incedible bouquet: immediately forthcoming, with a vigorous fragrance, a sort of essence of Cabernet Sauvignon, spicy, still borne aloft by its alcohol, acidity and tannins, though the latter are softening - a little. What a wine. I have often given it 21 out of 20, and six stars!
