A RARE MAGNUM OF THE FABULOUS MOUTON-ROTHSCHILD 1945
Lying in Gloucestershire at Christie's designated warehouse, (Octavian)
Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1945
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Good label, slightly dusty. Neck label partly missing. Level top-shoulder
Tasting note: I originally coined the phrase " a Churchill of a wine", meaning larger than life, immediately recognizable, complex, endlessly fascinating, unforgettable. Quite unlike any other claret ...extraordinary colour. The power and spiciness surge out of the glass like a sudden eruption of Mount Etna. Seemingly tireless - indeed another half-century anticipated. Last tasted June 2001, ****** (6 stars!) M.B.
