Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1992
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
The label: Watercolour by Per Kirkeby
The artist: Per Kirkeby was born in 1938 in Copenhagen. He studied natural history, and began as a geologist. Throughout his life he has worked in a wide variety of artistic fields. He has published poetry, novels and art criticism, as well as writing and directing for the cinema, television and the theatre, all long after he became established as a painter. Kirkeby is a believer in colour for building both form and contrast, the powerful, tormented colours determining the mass and balance of his compositions. They have a surging, lyrical quality, the most profound individualism in perfect harmony with the world he represents. His pictures are highly demanding: they offer no easy dreams or facile escapism. They show nature as dense and savage, patterned with fault-lines, a violent, elemental presence.
For the Mouton Rothschild 1992 label, Kirkeby has drawn the outline of a gigantic wineglass overflowing with dark red wine. Around the glass the rays of the sun mesh and interweave with the colour and intersecting perspectives of the vines.
Tasting note:
The 1992 Mouton has fashioned a flattering, soft, opulently-styled wine with medium body, a healthy dark ruby/purple color, and a big, fragrant nose of jammy cassis, smoky oak, and roasted herbs and nuts. The wine offers a sweet, expansive mid-palate and a lush, velvety-textured finish. It is an ostentatious, flashy Mouton for drinking over the next 10-12 years. 88 point. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 96 Dec 1994
