Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1989
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
All lots levels: bottom neck
All lots in original wooden cases
Parcel: lots 1537-1539
"The evolution of the 1989 will be fascinating to follow. I say that because the wine, while dark ruby/purple in color, is not opaque. The superb bouquet offers Asian spice, soy sauce, leather, toasty oak, mocha, and blackcurrant scents. Despite the impressive up-front aromatics, the wine appears to lack weight and depth, and the finish is surprisingly brisk given the terrific fragrance. This may turn out to be an outstanding Mouton, but it is comparable to the 1985 rather than the compellingly perfect wines produced in 1986 and 1982. It should be drinkable early, and I suspect most admirers of the flashy, dramatic style of wine made at Mouton will want to consume it between 1996 and 2010. Last tasted, 8/93." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #88 (August 1993)
