Lot 269 Details
CHÂTEAU MOUTON ROTHSCHILD 1989

Pauillac. 1er Cru Classé
u. 2 x vts. 1 x stained & wrinkled label. 1 x scraped & wrinkled label.

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

2 bts.    per lot $1,400 - $1,600

Realised: $1,344
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
