Château Mouton Rothschild 1985 (2 BT)

Château Mouton Rothschild 1985

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

u. 1vts, 1ts, 1 label very slightly marked; u. 1vts, 1ts, 1 étiquette très légèrement marquée

Label Artist: Paul Delvaux

At 40 years old, this nails it, particularly for a Cabernet Sauvignon- dominated Médoc 1st Growth in a vintage that was wonderful for Merlot. Here, the Cabernet gives it gravitas. An incredibly fruity, alluring nose leads to a totally opulent Mouton that caresses the palate. There is an amazing explosion of blueberry fruit and lip-licking lusciousness. Pretty impressive - and so succulent. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
