Lot #169. Mouton Rothschild 1988

Description: Consists of 5 Bottles, 0.75L

"A magnificent wine that's ripe, powerful, seductive and amazingly deep. Massively concentrated and bursting with currant, plum, berry, cedar, chocolate and all sorts of exotic spice flavors, yet it keeps its balance, never going to excess. Lingers on the finish for minutes. A classic." Wine Spectator, Apr 30, 1991
Notes: 2 base neck or better, 3 very top shoulder, 1 nicked and 1 very lightly stained capsule, very lightly scuffed and 2 nicked labels.
