100/100 points Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
February 1996
Lying in a private cellar duty free in Bordeaux, France
6 bottles in original wooden case with straw sleeves.
Tasting Note: “A consistent 100-point wine (only because
my point scale stops at that number), the 1945 Mouton-
Rothschild is truly one of the immortal wines of the
century. This wine is easily identifiable because of its
remarkably exotic, over-ripe, sweet nose of black fruits,
coffee, tobacco, mocha, and Asian spices. An
extraordinarily dense, opulent, and rich wine, with layers
of creamy fruit, it behaves more like a 1947 Pomerol than
a structured, powerful, and tannic 1945. The wine
finishes with a 60+ second display of ripe fruit, extract,
and sweet tannin. This remarkably youthful wine (only
light amber at the edge) is mindboggling! Will it last
another 50 years?”
