Château Mouton Rothschild--Vintage 1985
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden cases. Some slightly corroded capsules. U.S.A. import slip labels. Good appearance. Levels: lots 118 to 121 top-shoulder or better, lot 122 six top, four upper, two mid/upper-shoulder
Tasting note: Developing predictably, so I will jump to the present decade. Six very consistent notes. Most recently: deep, black cherry, quite intense though showing maturity; 'very Mouton', exciting, dramatic, distinctive spicy, almost eucalyptus bouquet; sweet entry, good fruit, touch of citrus, good length, tannin. Glorious now but long life. Last tasted April 2006 ***** Now-2025 M.B.
