Description
Château Mouton Rothschild 1985
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé
u. 3vts, 2ts, 1t/hs, 6hs, original tissues, 5 of which wine-stained, 8 signs of seepage, 5 corroded capsules
The rich, complex, well-developed bouquet of oriental spices, toasty oak, herbs, and ripe fruit is wonderful. On the palate, the wine is also rich, forward, long, and sexy... Readers looking for a big, boldly constructed Mouton should search out other vintages, as this is a tame, forward, medium-weight wine that is close to full maturity... This estate compares their 1985 to their 1959, but to me it is more akin to their 1962 or 1953. WA 90 - 12/97
