Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1989
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting Note: Also exciting in its youth, with Mouton's inimitable, spicy, cassis aroma, flesh and fruit. Twelve months after the harvest, peppery, vigorous, its tannins on the bitter side. The following spring (1991), I found it so much more exotic than the '90. Sweet. Fabulous. Most recently: very bright and appealing, opaque core but maturing; immediately fragrant, well developed harmonious bouquet, rich, whiff of mocha; medium-sweet, good fruit, perfect weight (12.5,firm, silky tannins. A lovely wine. Last noted in Dec 2005 **(***) 2010 - 2030 M.B.
