CHATEAU MOUTON ROTHSCHILD 1982 |

Château Mouton Rothschild 1982 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classéu. 1bn, 6vts, 1ts, 1t/hs, packed in 12-bottle OWC, slightly scuffed and slightly bin-soiled labels and capsules, partially torn and slightly corroded capsules, case missing armsLabel Artist: John Huston In 2018, this retains, and even expands upon, all its greatness. In magnum, it is majestically scented and lusciously mouth-filling. The cigar-box richness combines opulence with class, nobility of terroir with superb vintage conditions. One has the impression that it gets better and better in the glass, which augurs well for a future that I think is totally assured. The problem is staying away from it now...... Any wine that is so ultra-lappable has a tendency to disappear down very fortunate throats. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 1009 bts (owc)Estimates are per lot
