Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1998
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Both lots in original wooden cases
"Like many of its peers, the 1998 has filled out spectacularly. Now in the bottle, this opaque black/purple-colored offering has increased in stature, richness, and size. A blend of 86 Cabernet Sauvignon, 12 Merlot, and 2 Cabernet Franc (57 of the production was utilized), it is an extremely powerful, super-concentrated wine offering notes of roasted espresso, creme de cassis, smoke, new saddle leather, graphite, and licorice. It is massive, with awesome concentration, mouth-searing tannin levels, and a saturated flavor profile that grips the mouth with considerable intensity. This is a 50-year Mouton, but patience will be required as it will not be close to drinkability for at least a decade. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2050." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, #134 (Apr 2001)
