In his most recent tasting of Mouton Rothschild 1990 in 2011,Stephen Tanzer's tasting notes are as follows:-
"Bright red with pale rim.Knockout nose of aromatic herbs,strawberry,sweet spices and acacia flower,yet another wine strongly marked by its Cabernet Franc presence.Strong 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,and 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,which was considered by many to be just as typical of Mouton as its opulence".
(94 Points).

Chateau Mouton-Rothschild 1990 is one of the wines specially recommended by Patrick Dussert-Gerber in his "Guide des Vins":-
"A spectacular vintage,certainly one of the best two or three wines in the region in the vintage.Full of body,intense,deeply-colored,with years ahead of it".
Patrick Dussert-Gerber. (Guide des Vins. 2000 Edition).
"Black red.Coffee,cigar-box,and chocolate aromas.Full-bodied,yet harmonious,with a lovely silky texture.A caressing and rich wine.Gorgeous.I have underrated this wine in the past.Best after 2005. 25,000 cases made".
(97 Points).
James Suckling. (The Wine Spectator. Bordeaux Retrospective. June 2001).
