Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1984
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
The label: Gouache by Agam
The artist: Yaacov Agam (1928-) was born in Israel, the son of a rabbi, and moved to Paris in 1951. In 1958 he introduced with Soto, Pol Bury and Tinguely what became known as Kinetic Art. He saw it as justified by the Talmud: "Life is a passing shadow, therefore nothing here below can be captured in a motionless image." This produced work in brightly-coloured wood or metal, that altered its appearance as it or the spectator moved.
For this reason his design for the label of Mouton Rothschild 1984, while faithful to the painter's colours, only gives a partial idea of how it should look: perhaps the wine and the heightened perception of the drinker can provide the missing movement
Tasting note:
During the decade of the eighties, Mouton was the hottest first-growth in Pauillac. The 1984, which is almost 100 Cabernet Sauvignon, will be one of the longest-lived wines of this vintage. The wine is full bodied, tannic, concentrated, and rich in extract. It should have a surprisingly long life. This is a considerable surprise in a generally poor vintage. Anticipated maturity: Now-2005. 80 points. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition # B1 (Jan 1998)
