1998 Chateau Mouton Rothschild
Description
Composed of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc, the 1998 Mouton Rothschild is deep garnet-brick in color with lovely crème de cassis, dried roses, hoisin and baking spice notes with underlying notions of dried cherries and mulberries plus touches of wood smoke, incense and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied and packed with rich fruit framed by firm, chewy tannins, it is stacked with complex, evolving flavors and finishes with incredibly long-lasting perfumed notes. According to winemaker Philippe Dhalluin, this needs about three hours of decanting at this stage. I simply love the place this wine is in right now, possessing plenty of mature, tertiary characters yet still sporting bags of fruit. It won’t be fading anytime soon either and should cellar nicely for 20-25+ more years.

Tasting note
1998 年的武當酒呈現深紫紅色，初聞時帶有黑色水果、黑加侖和皮革的香氣，並帶有礦物質的氣息。經過醒酒後，會散發出更濃郁的橡木香氣和一絲摩卡的味道。入口清新且結構良好，酸度適中，質地優雅。強勁而順滑的單寧支撐著中段的豐富和深度，最後帶來強勁而優雅的收尾。
The 1998 Chateau Mouton Rothschild is a deeply colored wine with an attractive purple-red hue. The first nose is relatively discreet, offering aromas of black fruit, blackcurrant, and leather with a mineral cast. Upon airing, more intense oaky notes and a touch of mocha emerge. The attack is clean and well-structured, displaying a lovely, acidulated freshness that heralds a high-quality texture. Powerful and smooth tannins support a mid-palate of surprising volume and depth, leading into a powerful and elegant finish.
