Description

"Come in n°157832, your time is nearly up".

Being offered is a bottle with two labels.

The original is a bit battered (see main photo) but the essentials are all present, By great good fortune I already had a 'specimen' label. This one bears no number. Both are in the photos.

The level is at "base of neck" - good for 45 years or so in bottle and the complete capsule is in good order and showing no signs of seepage.

*Until 1973 when Président Pompidou elevated Mouton to First Growth status on his deathbed, Mouton was a second growth in the 1855 classification for the Paris Universal Exhibition of that year. Apparently the then modest premises (chateau) were not up to the glories that are Margaux, Haut Brion, Lafite, Latour, and Yquem.

Neal Martin's three comments on this wine are reproduced below.



Wine Journal
May 2009 Neal Martin 93 Drink 2009 - 2015 $326-$801
Tasted at the “First Growth” lunch in London. A consistently fine Mouton that here, out-classes its rival Lafite (and to think, this was still a Deuxieme Cru!) The nose has evolved great complexity with aromas of cedar, wild mint, pencil box that build nicely in the glass and returning later it has conjured up a lovely coffee bean scent. The palate is medium-bodied, very well balanced yet foursquare with notes of cedar, dried herbs, leather and a hint of damson here. Silky smooth texture towards the finish and great persistency for the vintage. Very classic, very Mouton. Excellent. Drink now-2015+ Tasted October 2008.





Wine Journal
Mar 2008 Neal Martin 94 Drink 2008 - 2018 $326-$801
I have always had a soft spot for this Mouton, although it is beginning to show its age. A deep garnet hue with amber rim. The nose is mature with pencil lead, cedar and dusty attic aromas – very Pauillac, this could not be from anywhere else. The palate is medium-bodied, stoic and conservative with notes of cedar, blackberry leaf and roasted herbs. Very “solid” and foursquare on the finish. It does not seem to have moved on since I last tasted this in 2003, although I am less inclined to cellar it as long term as I once supposed. Still, a classic mature Pauillac that certainly shows best with food. Drink now-2018. Tasted April 2007.





Wine Journal
Jan 2000 Neal Martin 94-96 Drink 2001
A deep garnet colour (much deeper than Lafite.) A concentrated nose, rich, plummy with excellent definition and a hint of eucalyptus. The palate is beautifully balanced, fabulous acidity and like all great wines gets better and better in the glass. Bitter cherry, roasted herbs and burnt toast. At its peak now but has the acidity to last another 10 years. Dare I say, as good as Latour? Tasted May 2003.
