CHATEAU MOUTON ROTHSCHILD 1985 |

Château Mouton Rothschild 1985 Pauillac, 1er Cru ClasséLot 8419: u. 1bn, 4ts, 2t/hs, 3hs, 1h/m, good color and clarity, several labels slightly marked at bottom by divider, 4 slightly scuffed, 1 slightly soiled and slightly torn, 1 stained, 2 capsules slightly corroded, 1 corroded, Lot 8420: u. 1bn, 5ts, 6hs, in original tissues, 1 slightly damp stained label, 2 nicked capsules, 2 slightly broken capsules partially revealing top of cork, 6 slightly corroded capsulesLabel Artist: Paul Delvaux Wonderful scent of flowers and fruit - this is really the forest fruits vintage. Opulent and briary on the nose. Lots of fruit on the palate but less defined, less deep and less Cabernet Sauvignon in character than the 1986. Roses on the finish. This Mouton appeals to absolutely everyone. In 2014 and from magnum, this was just pure cassis, deeply spicy, incredibly profound and full of mouth-coating glycerol. A stunner.
