Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1945
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Level: upper shoulder; faded label
"The power and spiciness surges out of the glass like a sudden eruption of Mt. Etna: cinnamon, eucalyptus, ginger, 'Friars Balsam' (noted once!). Impossible to describe but inimitable, incomparable, and, because of this and its appearance, several times 'guessed' blind. There is simply no other wine like it. Its taste is a componentof smell, its fragrance is reflected on the palate. Still lovely, still vivacious. Seemingly tireless-indeed another half century anticipated. Last tasted blind, and immediately recognised, at Wilfred Jaeger's mountain-top late lunch, June 2001 ****** (6 stars)" MB, Vintage Wine
