1990 Chateau Mouton Rothschild Pauillac (750ml)
94 Points
"(81% cabernet sauvignon, 10% cabernet franc, and 9% merlot; pH 3.69; IPT

60; 12.2% alcohol; 76% new oak; a 79% selection): Bright red with a pale

rim. Knockout nose of aromatic herbs, strawberry, sweet spices and acacia

flower; yet another wine strongly marked by its cabernet franc presence.

Fresh and vibrant, this absolutely dances on the palate with strawberry,

sour red cherry and raspberry flavors complicated by gunflint and herbs.

High acidity provides great clarity and cut to the long, floral, smoothly

tannic finish. This has improved considerably with bottle age. Harvested

from September 18 through October 3, this Mouton offers amazing

balance and fragrance. In 1990 Mouton was still using a heavy toast for its

barriques, which resulted in a smoky quality in the wines that was

considered by many to be just as typical of Mouton as its opulence. "But

we began turning things back in 1993, as we saw that our 1992 was a little

unbalanced"
