Château Mouton Rothschild 1945, Pauillac 1er Grand Cru Classé (1)
Château Mouton Rothschild 1945
Pauillac 1er Grand Cru Classé
(high-shoulder, bin soiled, mold stained and scuffed label.)
"A consistent 100-point wine (only because my point scale stops at that number), the 1945 Mouton-Rothschild is truly one of the immortal wines of the century. This wine is easily identifiable because of its remarkably exotic, over-ripe, sweet nose of black fruits, coffee, tobacco, mocha, and Asian spices. It is an extraordinarily dense, opulent, and rich wine, with layers of creamy fruit, behaveing more like a 1947 Pomerol than a structured, powerful, and tannic 1945. The wine finishes with a 60+ second display of ripe fruit, extract, and sweet tannin." (100pts WA)
