Lot 516 Details
CHÂTEAU MOUTON ROTHSCHILD 1989
Pauillac. 1er Cru Classé
u. 2 x ts. 2 x stained, marked & scraped labels. 1 x raised cork. 2 x scraped capsules.
Tasted from magnum and presented by Baron Philippe Sereys de Rothschild, the 1989 Château Mouton-Rothschild might not reach the ethereal heights of the 1982 or 1986, but it is certainly a lovely Claret. It has an attractive, slightly leafy bouquet armed with cedar and pencil lead. There is less fruit concentration than I expected, resolutely classic, slightly austere Bordeaux. The palate follows suit. Tasted February 2016. Drink: 2016-2035 WA 93
