Parker about Château Mouton Rothschild 1985
The 1985 Château Mouton Rothschild is an outstanding wine from one of the world's most prestigious wineries, Château Mouton Rothschild, located in the Pauillac appellation in the Bordeaux region. The 1985 vintage is known for its exceptional quality and is considered one of the finest of the century. The rich, complex, well-developed bouquet of oriental spices, toasty oak, herbs, and ripe fruit is wonderful. On the palate, the wine is also rich, forward, long, and sexy. It ranks behind both Haut-Brion and Chateau Margaux in 1985. I am surprised by how evolved and ready to drink this wine is. Readers looking for a big, boldly constructed Mouton should search out other vintages, as this is a tame, forward, medium-weight wine that is close to full maturity. It is capable of lasting another 15+ years. This estate compares their 1985 to their 1959, but to me it is more similar to their 1962 or 1953. On the palate, the Château Mouton Rothschild 1985 presents itself as a wine of impressive structure and elegance. The tannins are silky and well-integrated, resulting in a smooth and harmonious mouthfeel. The intense fruit aromas continue on the palate, complemented by complex notes of spice, earth, and a light mineral component. The lively acidity lends the wine freshness and balance, while the finish is long and persistent, characterized by a harmonious blend of fruit, oak, and tertiary flavors.
Suckling over Château Mouton Rothschild 1985
What an awe-inspiring nose of currants, shaved lead pencil, white truffles and earth. It's full-bodied and enveloped by silky tannins that lead to an earthy, long finish. Old, traditional Bordeaux with soul and remarkable complexity. Sensational.
