A PRIVATE COLLECTION OF BORDEAUX INCLUDING HAUT-BRION 1989
All wines have recently been removed from an impeccable cellar. The exceptional conditions of the labels and levels are an example of the perfect cellarage.
Château Mouton-Rothschild 1982
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Slightly bin-soiled labels, three stained and two damaged. Levels: six base of neck, three top-shoulder and three 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 creme de cassis, underlying floral note, full-bodied power, extraordinary purity, multilayered texture, and finish of over a minute are a showcase for what this Chateau accomplished in 1982. The wine is still amazingly youthful, vibrant, and pure. It appears capable of remaining fruity and vibrant in 2082! Thank God it is beginning to budge, as I would like to drink most of my supply before I kick the bucket. This is a great, still youthful wine, and, on occasion, one does understand the hierarchy of Bordeaux chateaux when you see the complexity and brilliance of this first-growth. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2050+ Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 183, June 2009
