20 Rene Gabriel
Mitteltiefes Weinrot, entsprechende Reifetöne am Rand. Traumhaftes Bouquet mit Cakesfrüchten, getrocknetem Thymian, etwas Torf und Wildleder, Zedernduft, Pferdesattel, Perubalsam mit viel artisanaler Terroirexpression. Toller Gaumen, zeigt viel Konzentration bei mittelgewichtigem Körper, geht in Richtung Klassik. Das ist Mouton – preislich immer noch attraktiv im Markt. Man kann ihn risikolos stundenlang dekantieren und er gewinnt dabei.

Super-refined 1983 Bordeaux with an excellent deep ruby color and intense cigar-box, plum and berry aromas and flavors; there's even a hint of mint. It's full-bodied but very reserved in style with fine tannins and a seductively long finish. Better after 1997.--The Bordeaux 50. JS

Evolving in a positive fashion, 1983 is turning out to be a fine vintage for Mouton. Although not a big wine, this medium-weight Mouton displays an attractive nose of blackcurrants, black-cherries, olives, and minerals. Medium-bodied, with sweet but noticeable tannin in the finish, as well as beautiful elegance and complexity, this wine is close to reaching its plateau of maturity. I have always thought it resembled this property's 1966. It should last for another 20 years. Last tasted, 7/93.
