(April 2002) 1945: astounding depth of flavour -La Revue du Vin de France - FRANCE In La Revue du Vin de France, Michel Bettane "kneels" before Château Mouton Rothschild 1945 : "Sometimes the myth may be more impressive than the real quality of the wine, but I have to admit that I kneel every time before the great 1945 wines, especially the most legendary of them all, Mouton. Is it the symbol of the year of victory, the unrivalled concentration, the barely tamed ferocity of the tannins? I compare them to the most awe-inspiring natural phenomena like the highest mountains and the biggest rivers. I shall never forget the incredible blackcurrant taste, the astounding depth of flavour and a grandiose finish with a vigour never since equalled " (March 2001). 1945, 1982: the greatest - VIP International Traveller - GERMANY In VIP International Traveller, the journalist Hanns O.
