Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1985 Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1985 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe u. 1vts, 4ts, 1hs, stained and soiled labels, 1 nicked capsule, 1 slight sign of seepage, excellent color and clarity 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 2011, just so luscious, opulent and winning - in fact, a real "winner"! Serena Sutcliffe, MW Lot 396 6 bts (sc) per lot: USD 1300-1800 Mouton, as it is affectionately known by all its devotees, is the most opulent and exuberant of all the Firsts, a reflection of the two huge personalities that have headed the Chateau since 1920, Baron Philippe and then Baroness Philippine de Rothschild. The great cassis depths of this wine seduce everyone who appreciates the finest Bordeaux. It is a gloriously forceful, flamboyant wine, voluptuous and powerful. Philippe Dhalluin, Mouton's talented Technical Director, has been at the Chateau since the harvest of 2003 and the stunning beauty of the wines has been further strengthened by meticulous attention to detail in vineyard and cellar. Many of my own greatest wine drinking experiences revolve around Mouton throughout this century and the last. Magnificent Mouton is a sensory photo on the mind that stays with one for life.
