A special bottle for a special occasion!

The 1980 season was one of the coolest on record. A two-week warm spell just before harvest increased grape sugars to hasten ripeness, resulting in rich, tannic, higher-acid wines. The winemaking team of Tim Mondavi, of Robert Mondavi Winery, and Lucien Sionneau, the winemaker of Chateau Mouton Rothschild, would describe the vintage as spicy with cigarbox aromas and flavors, very ripe, full and rich.

Blend: 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc

100 pts. - Decanter
"One of the coolest seasons on record, the acidity has kept this extraordinary wine so young and vibrant, with unbeatable elegance and class - a triumph.

Toast a SPECIAL OCCASION with this legendary vintage.

Golden straw colour; on the nose, a suggestion of toasted brioche, clear hints of preserved citrus fruits with very slight suggestion of menthol, all developing to reveal more sustained notes of autumn fruits. Clean and pure on the palate. The lively structured attack gradually gives way to the wine's fleshy fullness. Lovely persistence with a touch of citrusy freshness.
THE 1980 HARVEST - The harvest was small and late, beginning on October 9 in good weather conditions.
