    Château Mouton Rothschild, 1er Cru Classé, Pauillac, Non OWC, 1982

    Crowned repeatedly by critics and wine lovers the world over as one of the finest wines of the twentieth century, this 1982 First Growth remains full of power and vigour even at nigh on 30 years of age. Its legendary status has driven the remarkable, recent resurgence in demand for this stellar vintage and demand - as much as the wine itself - shows no sign of letting up.

    ABV:

    This is one of the best bottles of 1982 Mouton-Rothschild that I have drunk. Intense and lavish on the nose, this bursts with blackberries, raspberry confit, wild mint and graphite aromas, yet there is a sense of calm and refinement, perhaps less VA than some examples. The palate is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, with some of the finest tannins that I have noticed on this Mouton Rothschild. Slightly tertiary on the finish, it builds and builds and leaves you utterly smitten. My God, dare I say it almost reminds me of L* ***r? Tasted at La Trompette in London.
