Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1998 Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1998 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe Lot 8115: 2 slightly damp stained labels Lot 8116: Slight sign of seepage Last tasted at a great Imperial dinner in Hong Kong in 2011. A great, musky, black fruit nose. Plums and damsons. Vanilla pod and black fruit compote, with notes of coffee at the end. Serena Sutcliffe, M.W. Lot 8116 1 imperial - 6 liter (owc) per lot: HKD 16000-24000 per lot: USD 2000-3000 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.
