细节
Château Mouton Rothschild--Vintage 1988
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Lots 134 and 135 excellent appearance, levels base of neck or better
Lot 136 very slightly bin-soiled labels. One very slightly damaged label. Levels base of neck or better
Lot 137 three slightly bin-soiled labels, one bin-soiled label. Levels: nine base of neck or better, three top-shoulder
Tasting note: At 10 years of age, drinking surprisingly well. Though still youthful looking, a rich toasty nose and delicious flavour. Most recently: fairly deep, plummy coloured; sweet, rather rustic nose, good extract and fruit. An hour after decanting, a whiff of charred tar and mocha, opening up better later that evening. Touch of sweetness, perfect weight (12.5 alcohol), full of fruit, good length and sustaining tannin and acidity. Last tasted April 2006 ***(**) Could do with more time, say 2010-2020 M.B.
