The Nutmeg Cellar – A deep and highly curated collection from a New Haven-based collector, including 1985 Mugnier Musigny, a full case of 1982 Mouton, and 1985 DRCs. All wines have been stored in a passive home cellar.

"The rich, complex, well-developed bouquet of oriental spices, toasty oak, herbs, and ripe fruit is wonderful. On the palate, the wine is also rich, forward, long, and sexy." (90 pts. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book 3rd Ed., Jan. 1998)

"The bouquet is open, very classic in style, perhaps blind more like the 1986 with scents of pine cones and undergrowth. It was always quite a backward and (for the vintage) quite surly on the nose. The palate is well balance with cedar and truffle, firm tannins with gentle grip, maybe missing a bit of flair towards the finish. It is an enjoyable Mouton-Rothschild, though you might have wanted a little more panache." (92 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, Oct. 2021)

"What an awe-inspiring nose of currants, shaved lead pencil, white truffles and earth. It's full-bodied and enveloped by silky tannins that lead to an earthy, long finish. Old, traditional Bordeaux with soul and remarkable complexity. Sensational." (98 pts. James Suckling, Nov. 2015)
