EXCEPTIONAL BORDEAUX
Lying in Corsham, Wiltshire (Octavian)
Château Mouton-Rothschild 1982
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Recent négocient release. In original wooden case. Three corroded capsules, one damaged. Original tissues, stained. Levels: eight base of neck, two top-shoulder, one mid/upper-shoulder
Tasting note: This wine remains one of the legends of Bordeaux. It has thrown off the backward, youthful style that existed during its first 25 years of life, and over the last 4-5 years has developed such secondary nuances as cedar and spice box. The crème de cassis, underlying floral note, full-bodied power, extraordinary purity, multilayered texture, and finish of over a minute are a showcase for what this Château accomplished in 1982. The wine is still amazingly youthful, vibrant, and pure. It appears capable of remaining fruity and vibrant in 2082! Anticipated maturity: 2015-2050+ Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #183, Jun 2009
