Considering the vintages and the estate, Mouton's performances in 1989 and 1990 are puzzling. I have tasted these wines multiple times since my last reviews appeared in print. The 1990 is a hard, lean, austere, tannic style of Mouton that I predict will never shed enough tannin to attain complete harmony and balance. The wine exhibits a deep ruby color, less noticeable sweet oak than it possessed 2-3 years ago, hints of ripe blackcurrant fruit, and an attenuated, angular, tough style that is uncharacteristic of this chateau's winemaking, as well as the character of the 1990 vintage. This wine needs at least 10-15 years of cellaring, but don't expect a balanced Mouton when the tannin fades away - the wine is not that concentrated. In the context of a great vintage, Mouton's 1990 is a disappointment. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2020.

This is slightly vegetal now, with some berry and herbal character. Not very impressive. '89/'90 Bordeaux non-blind horizontal. Drink now. 25,000 cases made. JS

Château Mouton Rothschild
Als einziges unter den Ersten Gewächsen in Bordeaux erwarb das Château Mouton Rothschild seine hohe Einstufung erst nach der berühmten Klassifikation von 1855. Im Jahr 1973 setzte sich Baron Philippe de Rothschild erfolgreich für das Château ein, was ihm den Premier-Cru-Status einbrachte, unter dem es heute rangiert. Seine Weine besetzen kontinuierlich die Spitze der klassifizierten Gewächse und sind mit ihrer Opulenz und Zugänglichkeit, gepaart mit Noten von schwarzer Johannisbeere und kraftvollem Tannin, ihrem erstklassigen Verschnittstil treu geblieben. Baron Philippe hat dies nach der Aufstufung seiner Weine treffend formuliert: “Premier je suis. Second je fus. Mouton ne change”, was bedeutet: “Erster bin ich. Zweiter war ich. Mouton ändert sich nicht.” Viele Jahre lang bis zu ihrem Tod 2014 leitete seine Tocher, die Kunstliebhaberin Baroness Philippine das Anwesen. Ihr ist es zu verdanken, dass weltberühmte Künstler wie Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Keith Haring und Georges Braque die Etiketten für verschiedene Jahrgänge gestaltet haben. Neben dem Aushängeschild Mouton Rothschild und dem Zweitetikett Le Petit Mouton ist auch der in geringeren Mengen hergestellte Premium-Weißwein Aile d’Argent eine Versuchung.
