Baron Philippe de Rothschild Château Mouton Rothschild Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1989

$675

First tasted in October 2002 when the nose was only really just beginning to open up. The quality and its ravishing opulence was instantly apparent. Clos and surly when tasted the following year. Then from a double magnum in May 2004. A pure Pauillac nose of pencil-lead and cedar - very fragrant and well-defined. The palate is more backward than the Pichon Baron. Well-knot, harmonious, elegant and minerally. Wonderful fresh acidity. Very similar to Lynch Bages 1989 but with more complexity and nuance. Superb. Drink from 2012. Finally in September 2004: a beautiful "Mouton" nose with pencil-lead, charcoal and green pepper. Very intense and reserved. The palate is quite tannic and masculine with good acidity. Still tight. Less weight than Latour or Margaux and lacks the complexity of Lafite 1989. But I have had better examples of Mouton 1989 that showed a more depth and complexity.

Dark cherry, leather and rose pedal in the nose. Dust, graphite, marinated cherries and potpourri. Beautifully balanced fruit and acid. Just a touch of oxidation.

Dominated by VA. Soy sauce, fermented chili paste, bing cherry comes out with time and warming.

Fun night celebrating a dear friend’s birthday at Lucio’s BYOB over dinner. Everyone brought their own bottles to share with the group that was gathered. . Such a special treat: Back-to-back birth year Moutons. These were incredibly well-preserved and so full of life and vitality. Balanced and harmonious, the notes were lush and clearly defined: clove, mint, eucalyptus, leather, ash, with delicate dark fruits giving a sense of life and youthfulness. This was ethereal.

Surprisingly light for a pauillac. It went well with my lobster and Richard’s steak poive. Very enjoyable for a 29 year old wine.
