CHATEAU MOUTON ROTHSCHILD 1989 |

Château Mouton Rothschild 1989 Pauillac, 1er Cru ClasséLabel Artist: Georg Baselitz Cabernet Sauvignon 78%, Cabernet Franc 14%, Merlot 8%. In 2019, this remains great Mouton, with the Merlot picked from 6 September and the Cabernet between 16 and 25 September, the earliest vintage at Mouton. A huge, cassis, opulent bouquet leads to a plush blackcurrant, rich textured taste, exotic and mouth-enveloping. The power is lurking behind the luscious fruit and everything is gloriously in place. Miss this at your peril - I am always bowled over by it. In magnum in 2019, amazing 'class in the glass'. Great finesse of texture together with depth of black fruit flavour. Noble and lingering - and so very more-ish. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 904 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
