Deep, dark reddish tawny center, showing very little age in the rims. Classic, older Bordeaux nose. Notes of cedar, tobacco and cut cigar, red fruits, wet forest floor, old saddle leather, some cassis and some crushed walnuts. Complex and took its time to unwind. Decanted for 8 hours before taking to dinner, and then consumed over 3+ hours. Still present acidity. This comes across as a young Bordeaux, with the quality of the juice very evident. It didn't blow our socks off tonight, but the quality and pedigree of this is easily identifiable.

Absolutely love this wine. Tight upon opening. Gained texture and fruit after an hour decant. The nose is highly aromatic and stupidly complex. Began to deteriorate after five hours in a decanter.

Really intense, perfumed nose but this bottle lacks the intensity I’ve had from other old Bordeaux. Did not think it lived up to my expectations

1982 Chateau Mouton Rothschild. Drank at dad’s birthday dinner at Carl. This was epic. I was super pleased- it drank as he had hoped. Balanced and smooth.
