Mouton - Pauillac 1899 (Recorked)

Mouton - Pauillac 1899 (Recorked)

but elegant and complex

Fine perfumes of flowers (the name "Fleuraison" means flowering / blossoming)

Once again there is just enough wood to point out along with hints of menthol

There is excellent energy to the stony medium weight plus flavors that are at once succulent yet powerful where the latter carries over to the serious

pure and driving finish

who also runs the show at Château Latour

with air it could actually be enjoyed though one thing that is crystal clear is that this is very much on the rise

yet retains its sense of balance and symmetry

There is very good richness and volume to the sleekly muscular middle weight flavors that possess just enough minerality to notice

with some 35% of the volume in barrique

This is very impressive juice and still holding perfectly and the '85 is easily the best vintage of the decade for Clos de Tart

serious and youthfully austere finale
