Mouton Damaged Label - 1998 (750ml) 2004 The palate regains a sense

The palate regains a sense of order after the explosive aromatics with firm tannins

The 2012 Pinot Noir Cerise Vineyard is quite a bit more generous than the 2013 tasted alongside it

and a sweet attack as well as finish

which is quite remarkable

The blend is 89% Cabernet Sauvignon

Mouton Damaged Label - 1998 (750ml) 2004 The palate regains a senseVery pretty aromas of vanilla, tobacco, berry and chocolate. Medium to full bodied, with soft tannins and a berry, chocolate finish. Not very dense. This pales compared with the other top Pauillacs. I never thought this was a perfect wine, but it gives great pleasure.'88 '98 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2008).
