Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1989
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
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, this time in Hamburg at a comparative tasting of '89s and '82s, I noted its 'legs', fantastic bouquet and flavour. A touch of iodine, lovely mid-palate fruit, its high Cabernet Sauvignon content (about 76 having provided the exclusive Mouton flavour and character. March 2000 ***(**) 2010-2030 M.B.
