Reviews: "Evolving in a positive fashion, 1983 is turning out to be a fine vintage for Mouton. Although not a big wine, this medium-weight Mouton displays an attractive nose of blackcurrants, black-cherries, olives, and minerals. Medium-bodied, with sweet but noticeable tannin in the finish, as well as beautiful elegance and complexity, this wine is close to reaching its plateau of maturity. I have always thought it resembled this property's 1966. It should last for another 20 years. Last tasted, 7/93." Robert Parker Wine Advocate 1993

"Dense cedary nose with lots of plum, cassis and cigar box aromas. Beautiful balance on palate. Good acidity with notes of cedar and blackcurrant. Quite a straight-forward wine but there is so much elegance and finesse. Definitely a top quality Mouton and superior to the 1981. Possibly my preferred Mouton to consume now. Tasted in David Pope's tasting. Then in December 2004 at the CEC Bordeaux tasting. An intense cigar-box, blackberry, pencil-lead nose. Superb definition and vigor but quite backward for the vintage. The palate has excellent concentration, fresh with nose of tobacco, black earthy fruit, cedar and an animally touch. Very focused with superb length. Definitely superior to Latour 1983. There is something that reminds me of a Saint Julien on the finish. A great Mouton." Neil Martin, Wine Journal 2008.
