Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1989
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Lightly damp stained label
Gloriously aromatic! Fabulous extraction and only just beginning to turn from primary flavors. A rock solid wine of fantastic proportions. What a marvelous wine! Tasted from standard size bottle at Christie's Pre-sale tasting in Los Angeles, 03/03. ST

Very deeply coloured, with opulent, vanilla and toasty oak aromas. This is a powerful, glycerol-rich wine, which I last tasted in November 1998. I found it closed-up yet very promising, with its tannins still conspicuous. One should resist the temptation to drink this for at least 5 years, I believe. AH
