Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1989 Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1989 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe Lot 8102: All levels bn or better, 13 damp stained, 2 nicked and 2 slightly scuffed labels, import labels overlap bottom edge of main labels, 2 partially torn capsules Lot 8103: u. 2bn, original tissues This is a very great Mouton, with the Merlot picked from 6th September and the Cabernet between 16th and 25th September, the earliest vintage at Mouton. Lovely spicy nose, like a gluhwein made of Cabernet Sauvignon. Concentrated, exotic and very chocolatey. One of the best, and most seductive 1989s in Bordeaux, with depth and a long finish. At home, in 2011, it was so beautiful, spicy and deep, even a little "earthy" on the finish. Serena Sutcliffe, M.W. Lot 8102 24 hbs (owc) per lot: HKD 24000-32000 per lot: USD 3000-4000 Mouton, as it is affectionately known by all its devotees, is the most opulent and exuberant of all the Firsts, a reflection of the two huge personalities that have headed the Chateau since 1920, Baron Philippe and then Baroness Philippine de Rothschild. The great cassis depths of this wine seduce everyone who appreciates the finest Bordeaux. It is a gloriously forceful, flamboyant wine, voluptuous and powerful. Philippe Dhalluin, Mouton's talented Technical Director, has been at the Chateau since the harvest of 2003 and the stunning beauty of the wines has been further strengthened by meticulous attention to detail in vineyard and cellar. Many of my own greatest wine drinking experiences revolve around Mouton throughout this century and the last. Magnificent Mouton is a sensory photo on the mind that stays with one for life.
