Description
Château Mouton Rothschild 1945
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé
u. ts, purchased from Christie's 'Finest and Rarest Wines and Cigars' in Hong Kong on 28 October 2001. Reconditioned at the Château with new cork, label and capsule with a new laser etching that reads 'ARC 13027', good color and clarity
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
