Mouton Rothschild - 1985 (750ml) Size:750ml The inky/purple-colored 2001 Jericho Canyon

The inky/purple-colored 2001 Jericho Canyon Proprietary Red offers up a sumptuous perfume of licorice

good acidity

My original ratings appear to have been dead on the money for both of these efforts from Chateau Latour

but with the superb acidity characteristic of very old Madeira

this is a superb example of wine that reaches its prime in 3 or 4 years and lasts two decades

Mouton Rothschild - 1985 (750ml) Size:750ml The inky/purple-colored 2001 Jericho CanyonWhat 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. Drink now. 99 Points, James Suckling
