Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1945
Pauillac, 1er cru classé.
High-to top-shoulder level, deep color, and label with only minor soil
"The greatest ever. Incredible bouquet: immediately forthcoming, with a vigorous fragrance, a sort of essence 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 tannins, though the latter are softening - a little. What a wine. I have often given it 21 out of 20, and six stars!" JMB
