Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1945
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Level: top shoulder; bin soiled label, bottle#33831,"V" and Château logo remains shiny, good appearance and color at this age
"One of the greatest clarets of all time, certainly the most distinctive. Dozens of notes made since 1954, 10 within the last 2 years. Virtually identical notes made in the autumn of 2005: still impressively deep with a jewel-like ruby sheen; inimitably exotic bouquet, an eruption of spice, eucalyptus, lavender and violets; amazingly sweet, wonderful fruit, concentrated yet vivacious, crisp, endless length. Still tannic. Last tasted Nov 2005 ****** Seemingly indestructible." M.B.
