1 dozen bottles per lot
Details
Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1985
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Both lots levels: bottom neck or better
Both lots in original wooden cases
Parcel: lots aaa-bbb
Tasting from this lot: Like the 1982 Haut Brion blanc noted earlier this too was picture perfect. A stunning example of well kept wine. The '85 Mouton Rothschild is classic Bordeaux in every sense of the word. The balance is not overbearing, the texture is firm and dry, the flavors are only those that can be associated with maturing red Bordeaux. In some ways it is easier to say what it is NOT rather than what it is: it is not alcoholic in any way; nor is there an overbearing sweetness to the fruit; it is not heavy or rich or thick; it is not weak in the mid-palate nor short on the finish; it is not Napa.
This is, in fact, the favorite wine of my host's household and might even be voted the "house wine" if a survey was ever taken. I could not have agreed more when my patron suggested we take a bottle to her favorite restaurant that night! ST
