Château Mouton Rothschild
Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend
It was ‘83 not ‘85. It was as advertised 35 years ago, a typical example of great Bordeaux. Nothing like the amazing’82 that preceded it, but still a wonderful bottle of wine

Aug 3rd, 2020Nose has a lovely soft red fruited perfume with dried rose petal, and a gentle yet intense Chinese five spice, some notes of dried forest floor and a sweet smokiness, incredibly attractive.
In the mouth there is a vibrant, mouth tingling acidity, little discernible tannin and a dry berry finish which is subtle but very long, spice notes still detectable after a minute+.

Feb 6th, 2017Somewhat muted and singular in character vs the '86. Reflects the solidity but lack of flair from the vintage.
