Château Mouton Rothschild, 1982

Deep ruby with some evolution at the rim. Very intense, heady nose. Wonderfully layered, complex, dense with some very fine tannin still on the finish. This is showing signs of being capable of going on for a very long time yet. Fantastic persistence. Just goes on and on. Real first growth quality and subtlety. Some spice but all with a great, sophistictaed polish. This is the vintage, for Baron Philippe's 60th vintage, with the John Huston label. Drink 1998-2028.Jancis Robinson MW Score 19
