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
Unique parmi les Premiers Grands Crus bordelais, le Château Mouton Rothschild est le seul à avoir décroché sa place convoitée dans le fameux classement de 1855 après sa parution. En 1973, la pression exercée par le Baron Philippe de Rothschild pour que le château accède à ce statut ultime, a porté ses fruits. Si les vins règnent en maître en haut du classement des crus classés, leur opulence et leur accessibilité, conjuguées à leurs notes de cassis et à leurs tanins puissants, sont restées fidèles à leur style d’assemblage de haut niveau. Au moment de leur accession au rang de Premier Grand Cru Classé, le Baron Philippe a parfaitement résumé leur profil : « Premier je suis. Second je fus. Mouton ne change », autrement dit, le style reste identique. Pendant plusieurs années, le domaine fut dirigé par sa fille et amatrice d’art, la Baronne Philippine, jusqu’à sa disparition en 2014. Grâce à son implication, des artistes emblématiques, parmi lesquels Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Keith Haring et Georges Braque, ont signé les étiquettes de nombreux millésimes. Hormis l’illustre fer de lance du domaine, Mouton Rothschild, et du second vin, Le Petit Mouton, le vin blanc ultra qualitatif élaboré à plus petite échelle, Aile d’Argent, est particulièrement séducteur.
