Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1945
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Offered in cartons. Lot 364: corroded capsule. Branded cork. Slightly bin-soiled and slightly stained label. Level base of neck. Lot 365: Branded cork. Very bin-soiled, stained and lightly torn label. Level top-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, behaveing 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? 100 points. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition # B1 (Jan 1998)
