Mouton Rothschild 1983 is a red wine from the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux. This First Growth is a classic Cabernet-dominated blend harvested from the gravel-rich slopes of the estate, adjacent to Lafite. The 1983 vintage is often overshadowed by 1982 but remains a powerful, well-structured expression with a firm tannic backbone and deep notes of cedar, cassis and tobacco. Maturation in 100% new French oak has provided the frame for a wine that continues to evolve with great classical poise. For the expert collector, the 1983 represents a value in the context of First Growths, offering the full power of the Bages plateau gravels with a level of tertiary complexity and aromatic depth that only four decades of careful cellar ageing can provide.
