Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend

Still totally sound. Slight touch of oxidation and the Brett is poking out. I expect significant evolution over the evening. Tasted out of a 5L.

Tad disappointing as nose very closed and took a good hour to show anything...like most Moutons it's stubborn out of the glass and bit of peek-a-boo with signs of a shout then shuts up again.

You could just sense the lineage and majesty of this one but a green vegetal streak on the nose and mid-palate ruined the sensory experience. Not off, but probably past its prime…

Wow. Just great Bordeaux. It’s showing it’s age but it’s all there. Nose is still bountiful and it’s acidity level is low. Stewed red fruits and creme de cassis. Sweet tannins and long finish. Wow. My first experience here and hopefully not my last.

Rare and wonderful. It has aged very well.

Still wonderful after all these years.

An ICON is an ICON even in not his best years...

Birth year vintage for my brother. I preferred this, he preferred the '87 Médoc Baron Philippe.

1987 Mouton Rothschild...
