Tasting Notes

The nose is expressive and evolved, showing blond tobacco, game, mineral notes, and red fruit with touches of spice. The palate is smooth and creamy with velvet tannins, macerated fruit, prune, vanilla, chocolate, and an airy acidulated finish.

Food Paring

Open this mature Pauillac with roast lamb, grilled beef, or hard cheeses when the meal deserves a legendary Bordeaux. Its refined texture and tobacco-laced complexity also make it a wonderful partner for game and celebratory dinners.

90 Robert Parker Wine Advocate

"Notorious for not living up to the estate’s nor the vintage’s reputations, I have to say this 1990 Mouton Rothschild was not looking nearly as bad as I was expecting. This was a hot, dry vintage, which can be a challenge for vines on such free-draining soils as the deep gravel-mounds composing the backbone of Mouton’s vineyards. The effect of the struggling vines is apparent in the wine, yielding less density and chewier tannins. Nonetheless, the terroir's pedigree clearly glimmers in the background."

"A less-than-extraordinary Mouton with licorice and sandalwood on the nose. But this is still lovely and easy to drink. Medium body, good fruit and soft tannins."
