綜合年份和酒莊條件考慮，1989 年份和 1990 年份的 Mouton 酒表現(xiàn)不錯(cuò)。此款 1989 年份的 Mouton-Rothschild 是一款品質(zhì)卓越的酒，但如果與 1995、1986 和 1982 年份的同款酒相比，它則略遜一籌。此酒酒液呈寶石紅色，邊緣的顏色已經(jīng)開(kāi)始變淡，香氣發(fā)展很好，帶有雪松，甘甜的黑色水果、鉛筆盒烤橡木的香氣。它十分優(yōu)雅，酒體適中，風(fēng)味、香氣內(nèi)斂，釀酒工藝精湛，具有現(xiàn)代風(fēng)格，與 1985 年的同類酒大相徑庭。此酒優(yōu)秀甚至卓越，4 至 5 年后會(huì)充分成熟。適飲期：未來(lái) 15 年至 20 年內(nèi)。

Tasted from magnum and presented by Baron Philippe Sereys de Rothschild, the 1989 Chateau 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. What it lacks in substance it compensates with in balance and personality. This is an understated Mouton-Rothschild that is probably at its peak, although I envisage this offering another two decades of pleasure. Whilst this showing did not replicate some glorious bottles in the past, it remains a very fine Claret that may not be inclined to improve any further. Tasted February 2016.

Shows so much ripe and decadent fruit on the nose, from dried berries and raisin to strawberry and sultana. There is a nutty, cedar undertone as well. Very complex and full-bodied, with lots of vanilla bean and ripe plum flavors. This is almost Burgundian in texture: so soft and so attractive, but then the Bordeaux tannins kick in at the end. What a wine. So much ahead in its life, but just coming around now.—'89/'99 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2009). Drink now. 25,000 cases made. -JS
