Description

Robert Parker 91 Drink: 1993 - 2013
Evolving in a positive fashion, 1983 is turning out to be a fine vintage for Mouton. Although not a big wine, this medium-weight Mouton displays an attractive nose of blackcurrants, black-cherries, olives, and minerals. Medium-bodied, with sweet but noticeable tannin in the finish, as well as beautiful elegance and complexity, this wine is close to reaching its plateau of maturity. I have always thought it resembled this property's 1966. It should last for another 20 years.

and a couple of more recent notes from Neal Martin

May 2009 Neal Martin 93
Tasted single blind at the Fine Wine Experience horizontal in London. A deep garnet core with a thin tawny rim. The nose is a little lean compared to some of the other wines, slightly tinny but coalesces returning to the glass after twenty minutes, building some gorgeous tobacco and graphite scents with hints of cooked meat. The palate is high-toned on the entry, a little tarry with a smooth, almost creamy texture. Perhaps just a little more oak than was necessary, a little over-polished? Medium-bodied, smooth, more modern in style but somehow less satisfying than previous wines in terms of tension and clarity but it is probably more a case of this wine being relatively backward and deserving more bottle age. Tasted October 2008.

First tasted June 2002. Dense cedary nose with lots of plum, cassis and cigar box aromas. Beautiful balance on palate. Good acidity with notes of cedar and blackcurrant. Quite a straight-forward wine but there is so much elegance and finesse. Definitely a top quality Mouton and superior to the 1981. Possibly my preferred Mouton to consume now. Tasted in David Pope's tasting. Then in December 2004 at the CEC Bordeaux tasting. An intense cigar-box, blackberry, pencil-lead nose. Superb definition and vigour but quite backward for the vintage. The palate has excellent concentration, fresh with nose of tobacco, black earthy fruit, cedar and an animally touch. Very focused with superb length. Definitely superior to Latour 1983. There is something that reminds me of a Saint Julien on the finish. A great Mouton.
