Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1988
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden case. One corroded capsule. Three badly damaged and bin-soiled labels, three slightly bin-soiled. Levels: eleven base of neck, one top-shoulder
Tasting note: fairly deep, plummy coloured; sweet, rather rustic 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 2006 ***(**) Could do with more time, say 2010-2020 M.B.
