Château Mouton Rothschild--Vintage 1990
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Excellent appearance. Levels: lots 319 to 321 into neck, lot 322 six into neck and six base of neck, lot 323 twleve base of neck
Tasting note: At first, in cask, I preferred the luscher? '89, but within a couple of years it displayed an almost explosive, rich, spicy, nose. Aged ten, the spiciness seemed to owe much to new oak and, despite its richness, a touch of leanness. In June 2003, sweet, almost chewy, very drinkable but a bit 'edgy' and very tannic. Most recently, an imperiale: deep, maturing more quickly than the '89' rich, complete, harmonious bouquet; sweet, soft, fleshy, spicy, with a dry finish. Very good, very enjoyable, but not great. Last tasted July 2005 ***(*) 2008-2016 M.B.
