MOUTON-ROTHSCHILD OF THE GREAT 1945 VINTAGE AND PETRUS
Lying in Twickenham, Middlesex (EHD)
Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1945
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Bottle number 23,627. Damaged capsule. Bin-soiled and damaged label. Level mid/upper-shoulder
Tasting note: A consistent 100-point wine (only because my point scale stops at that number), the 1945 Mouton-Rothschild is truly one of the immortal wines of the century. This wine is easily identifiable because of its remarkably exotic, over-ripe, sweet nose of black fruits, coffee, tobacco, mocha, and Asian spices. It is an extraordinarily dense, opulent, and rich wine, with layers of creamy fruit, behaving more like a 1947 Pomerol than a structured, powerful, and tannic 1945. The wine finishes with a 60+ second display of ripe fruit, extract, and sweet tannin. This remarkably youthful wine (only light amber at the edge) is mindboggling! Will it last another 50 years? Last tasted 8/97. Robert Parker. Bordeaux Book 3rd Edition (1998).
