Château Mouton Rothschild--Vintage 1988
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden case. Four very slightly bin-soiled labels. German import slip labels. Levels: eleven base of neck, one top-shoulder
Tasting note: Most recently: fairly deep, plummy-coloured; sweet, rather rustic, unspectacular nose, good extract and fruit. An hour after decanting, a whiff of charred tar and mocha, opening up better later that evening. Touch of sweetness, perfect weight (12.5 alcohol), full of fruit, good length and sustaining tannin and acidity. Last tasted April 2007 ***(**) Could do with more time, say Now-2020. M.B.
