Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1998
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Tasting Note: Classic Mouton cepage blend- Cabernet Sauvignon 86 Merlot 12 and Cabernet Franc 2 and 57 of the crop used for the grand vin. In March 1999, opaque, intense; complete; more flesh and fruit than the '97. More recently, with Patrick Leon: spicy, fragrant, very 'Mouton' aroma; good fruit and length. Very tannic yet fleshy. Last tasted at the château, April 2000. **** M.B.
