100 points “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!” – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
100 points “What an amazing red… It is so powerful yet elegant. It will improve for hundreds of years.” – James Suckling
100 points “A wine that’s singing today the 1982 Château Mouton-Rothschild is one of those wines that needs to be tasted to be believed. It almost has a California Cabernet-like sexiness and opulence paired with pure Bordeaux class… This is Bordeaux at its most sexy and hedonistic and it’s just a joy to drink.” – Jeb Dunnuck
Château Mouton-Rothschild is the glitziest of the First Growths and the only wine to have ever been upgraded in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification. According to Wine Advocate: “Mouton is unashamedly gregarious flamboyant and melodramatic… a splash of colour in what can be a monochromatic region.”
Robert Parker’s various publications have given this a perfect rating on several occasions. Accompanied by the 100-point scores from James Suckling and Jeb Dunnuck this is clearly a wine that has earned its place in the pantheon of greats.
Mouton Rothschild’s labels change each year. 1982’s was by John Huston. Although best known as an actor screenwriter and director (The Maltese Falcon The Treasure of the Sierra Madre Key Largo Chinatown Casino Royale and many more) he was also an art lover visual artist and painter. He created the watercolour for this label “In Celebration of my beloved friend Baron Philippe’s sixtieth harvest at Mouton.” This was one of the last paintings he ever did.
