1982 Chateau Mouton Pauillac

[jfones]

I took your advice and opened a bottle yesterday. I decanted it and let it breathe for three hours before tasting it. Then I tasted it every thirty minutes or so. I seemed to get better with each tasting.

We enjoyed it with dinner later last evening. We thought it had enormous flavor concentration, that exhibited huge tannin and immense body. It seemed packed with ripe currant, plum, and anise flavors, long and deep. To us, the wine met our expectations and was not faded. I will store the rest of the bottles for special occasions in years to come.

I really appreciate all of your advice and comments.
