Description

Reviews:
"..The nose is simple sublime, marked by soft, earthy red-berried fruits, hints of cigar box and graphite with a bewitching sense of delineation and natural grace.. The palate is medium-bodied, beautifully balanced and graceful and whilst never as ambitious as the following vintage Mouton, is content just to satiate the imbiber. Wonderful fresh, tobacco-led finish and superb length.. Drink now-2020. Tasted June 2008. Neil Martin, Wine Journal - Rating 95/100

"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. It ranks behind both Haut-Brion and Chateau Margaux in 1985. I am surprised by how evolved and ready to drink this wine is. 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. It is capable of lasting another 15+ years. This estate compares their 1985 to their 1959, but to me it is more akin to their 1962 or 1953. Anticipated maturity: Now-2012. Last tasted, 10/97." Parker Bordeaux 3rd Edition. Rating 90/100.
