Community Tasting Note

Friday, March 22, 2024 - 1988 Bordeaux Horizontal (Hawksmoor NYC): I was not expecting this to be the wine of the night in a 1988 Bordeaux horizontal, but the 1988 Château Mouton Rothschild was in a perfect place when we PnP'd it on the night. Despite not being an overly aromatic wine, there were still aromas of red fruit and light tobacco coming together. But the palate truly stole the show. With tart raspberries and red cherries creating life (and complimenting acidity) in the upfront, the mid-palate was absolutely tantalising, boasting spices, iron and sanguine qualities before a well integrated tannic structure in the finish boasted light cassis and chewiness from a game note. This truly delivered - a bottle to open and enjoy now.
