Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1982
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
One damaged capsule, one slightly damaged. One slightly damaged label, otherwise excellent appearance. Levels: eight base of neck or better, four top-shoulder
Tasting note: Twice tasted in cask, first in May (1983) and just before bottling in Sept 1984, and on each occasion dazzled and beguiled, as so often by its fabulous aroma and mouthfilling ripeness. At 10 years of age, its bouquet opened up gloriously in the glass; on the palate, crisp, delicious. Consistently top of the class at several major tastings in the late 1990s, occasionally alongside the outstanding '83, the '82 having more power and less elegance but nevertheless superb with its very fragrant 'hot vintage' scent, sweetness, body, extract and very dry tannic finish. Last tasted Nov 2000 ****(*) M.B.
