Mouton Rothschild 1984 Double Magnum (sl)

During the decade of the eighties, Mouton was the hottest first-growth in Pauillac. The 1984, which is almost 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, will be one of the longest-lived wines of this vintage. The wine is full bodied, tannic, concentrated, and rich in extract. It should have a surprisingly long life. This is a considerable surprise in a generally poor vintage.

A glittering bright red with a slightly amber tint. The highly refined and elegant nose offers aromas of coffee, liquorice and red fruit underpinned by pleasant oak. From a round and rich attack, the impression of substance and opulence gives way to silky and perfectly balanced tannins, harmoniously combined with oak.
