A Legend. One of the greatest wines ever produced from one of the greatest Chateau in one of the greatest Bordeaux vintages. A perfect 100 out of 100 score in the Wine Advocate

The 1982 Mouton Rothschild is drinking brilliantly today, soaring from the glass with aromas of cassis, dark berry fruit, charcoal, pencil shavings, espresso roast and loamy soil. Full-bodied, ample and enveloping, it's a layered, sumptuous wine that's remarkably seamless and complete, with impressive concentration, ripe but lively acids and fine, melting tannins. Long and resonant, this is a great wine that can keep company with the likes of Mouton's 1961, 1959 and 1955.

We put a speculative bid on this at an auction and unexpectedly won! It’s provenance is that it was placed with the auctioneers by one of the traditional London win merchants who were selling it on behalf of a long established client. It has been well stored since inital purchase. The wine is mid shoulder ( see images) which is pretty much what you would expect from a wine this age. The label is in perfect condition.

What better 40th Birthday or 40th Anniversary wine could you get?
