Description
Château Mouton Rothschild 1945
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé
u. 1ts, 1t/hs, purchased from Sotheby's 'The Magnificent Cellar of Dr Ed Planz' sale in New York on 6 December 2014, lot 1231, and previously at Sotheby's New York auction on 25 September 2010, bottle #s 2637 and 2638, Two-piece Victoire label, excellent color and clarity, soiled and damp stained labels, nicked and corroded capsules
Label Artist: Victory Year (Philippe Julian)
What more can be said about this wine other than it is extraordinary and not very much was made! Incredibly haunting bouquet of flavoured coffee, cloves and cinnamon. Raspberries (utterly surprising), gingerbread, blackcurrants and mint all battle on the palate with coffee and chocolate lining up to get in on the act. It finishes in such elegant fashion - so silky and so seamless. This is not a banal, huge wine, it is just a totally complete Claret, perhaps the greatest ever. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
