Medium brick in color the nose of the 1982 Mouton Rothschild is a little closed and sluggish to begin offering earthy cigar box iron ore star anise and dusty soil notes with a fruit core of kirsch dried mulberries blackcurrant pastilles figs and prunes emerging after a few minutes. The palate remains a blockbuster?full-bodied rich opulently accented and unquestionably hedonic possessing a mid-palate that is jam-packed with notions of red and black fruit preserves. The satiny texture/ripeness of tannins is simply incredible! It delivers a very long licorice-laced finish.

The 1982 Mouton-Rothschild continues to be the extravagant Pauillac that it has always been. This has an irresistible exotic bouquet of precocious kirsch hoisin graphite and blueberry scents that gain intensity in the glass. The palate is a little headier than previous bottles sensual and almost glossy presenting a glycerin-rich smorgasbord of dark cherries black currant crème de menthe and mint that almost knocks you off your feet. Fabulous. Tasted from an ex-château jeroboam at the Palace of Versailles charity dinner.

Glorious aromas. Dark ruby red. Wonderful perfumes of flowers berry and lilac. Full-bodied with silky tannins and a long and pretty finish. Balanced. Class in a glass. Just as I remember.--Bordeaux retrospective. Drink now.
