Tasting note
Mature Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon should show softened cassis and dark plum, joined by cedar, dried herbs and earthy complexity. This 1982 Mouton Rothschild is expected to feel broad yet delicate, with mellow tannins and gentle acidity carrying the remaining fruit without youthful force. It is beyond its peak but within the listed horizon through 2035; the finish should favor savory spice, dried berry and a quiet, lingering warmth.
