Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1982
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Very good appearance. Levels base of neck or better
Tasting Note: A mulberry ripe Cabernet nose; intense, dramatic, silky-leathery tannins. Unready. Excellent at Kaplan's '82 event, hefty, thick, very tannic. Still stylish at Hollywood Wine Society's Mouton tasting (1998). A somewhat less enthusiastic note at the Athenaeum House and Wine Committee dinner: 'touch of tar' on the nose 'stolid, impressive, but unexciting' (April 2000) but reprieved three days later though 'tarry' again added to its rich, ripe, Cabernet Sauvignon bouquet; 'better this evening than last Monday'. Open knit, 'coarser on finish' (than Lafite). Last noted at the La Reserve tasting of 1982 Pauillacs, April 2001 ****(*). M.B.
