winemaker's notes:
The 1989 vintage of this wine was ranked #4 on the Wine Spectator's Top 10 Wines of 1992
Intensely coloured with a violet tint, the wine reveals a rich array of aromas including red and black fruit, wild blackberry and liquorice.
On airing, peppery spices mingle harmoniously with vanilla.
Floral aromas reminiscent of lilac and peony are followed by minty, mineral and smoky notes.
Substantial on the palate, on powerful but creamy tannins, Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2007 displays remarkable balance.
critical acclaim:
"The wood element is important here, but it is based on a firm Cabernet Sauvignon structure, dry but rich tannins. The wine is a great success for the vintage, giving sweetness, ripe fruit that only shows light extraction, and dark plum and berry flavors. The feeling is of polished fruit and wood, rounded but always dense."

The Wine Advocate
"Medium ruby. Aromas of cassis, licorice, graphite, chocolate, menthol and flowers, lifted by a light peppery note. Dense, sweet and round, with a lovely mineral pungency accentuating the impression of terroir There's nothing hard about this suave, voluminous wine, which comes across as richer and lusher than its 12.7% alcohol would suggest. The slow-building finish features subtle minerally persistence. Range: 91-94"

International Wine Cellar
"Focused and rich, showing blueberry, blackberry and dark licorice aromas, with hints of mineral and flowers. Full-bodied, with a seamless core of fruit and tannins. Long and caressing on the finish. Best after 2013."
