A bottle of Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1989 from Bordeaux's Pauillac appellation, featuring a label by East German painter George Baselitz who chose his upside-down rams for the 1989 label to bring together the traditional Mouton emblem with the historical significance of that year: the demolition of the Berlin Wall.
This bottle was imported to the US market by Palace Brands, Farmington, CT.
'The Mouton ’89 is a lovely Pauillac that has reached its plateau of maturity. It has an engaging cedar-scented bouquet touches of cigar box, mint and a touch of Italian cooked meats. Very well defined, very “old school”. The palate is medium-bodied and very harmonious with grainy tannins. It continues the aromatic theme of cedar and tobacco, relatively foursquare compared to Pichon-Baron of Lynch Bages, with a slightly leafy finish that demonstrates great persistency. It is very “classic” in style, restrained, elegant and bearing similarities to Lafite. Drink now-2030. Tasted October 2010. 95/100' Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 2010
