By Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 92
One of the biggest Médocs of the vintage, the dense garnet/plum-coloured 1988 Mouton has an attractive aromas of Asian spices, dried herbs, minerals, coffee, black currants and sweet oak. Much like the 1989, the bouquet is alluring. The flavors continue to add bulk and the wine is better than I initially thought. In the mouth, it is a much firmer, tougher, more obviously tannic wine than the 1989, with full body and admirable ripeness. This is a muscular, large-scaled 1988 that will last another 15-20 years. I clearly underestimated this wine in its infancy. If the truth be known, it is superior to the more renowned vintages of 1990 and 1989! Anticipated maturity: 2008 - 2030.
Wine Spectator 92
Very pretty aromas of vanilla, tobacco, berry and chocolate. Medium- to full-bodied, with soft tannins and a berry, chocolate finish. Not very dense. This pales compared with the other top Pauillacs. I never thought this was a perfect wine, but it gives great pleasure.—'88/'98 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2008). Drink now. 20,000 cases made.
James Suckling 93
There's licorice here along with mint, some lead pencil and flowers. It's full and round displaying wonderful vanilla and plum flavors. Very silky and refined yet dense and caressing. A beauty, though it does turn a little dry, always revealing its wood.
《Chateau Mouton Rothschild》
Chateau Mouton Rothschild傳奇的崛起故事是波爾多五大酒莊中最為膾炙人口的。因為Chateau Mouton Rothschild於1855年酒莊分級時僅獲得二級酒莊的第一名，但在Baron Philippe de Rothschild男爵努力不懈的改善酒園及酒質之下，終於在1973年成為唯一破格由二級躍升一級的酒莊。酒莊自1945年起，每年都使用不同的圖案作為酒標，而且常常由著名藝術家設計(例如:畢加索，馬克夏卡爾等等。其中最令人津津樂道的酒標是1973年由畢卡索所繪製的「酒神季」，這幅畫在畢卡索生前並未允諾，而是死後由其妻女讓售於Chateau Mouton Rothschild的佳作，正好作為1973年Chateau Mouton Rothschild躍升一級酒莊的勝利象徵。
