MATURE CLARET INCLUDING MOUTON 1945
Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Château Mouton Rothschild--Vintage 1945
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Badly bin-soiled and damaged label. Level just below top-shoulder
Tasting note: One of the greatest clarets of all time, certainly the most distinctive. Dozens of notes made since 1954, 10 within the last 2 years. Virtually identical notes made in the autumn of 2005: still impressively deep with a jewel-like ruby sheen; inimitably exotic bouquet, an eruption of spice, eucalyptus, lavender and violets; amazingly sweet, wonderful fruit, concentrated yet vivacious, crisp, endless length. Still tannic. Last tasted November 2005 ****** Seemingly indestructible. M.B.
