Score 89/100 · Drink 1995-2015, Robert Parker, Feb 1993

Smart money will go after the 1989 and 1990. The 1989 is black/ruby in color, with a huge bouquet of cassis, this formidable wine has layers of extract, a very high tannin level, and a hefty level of alcohol. Anticipated maturity: 1995-2015.

Big and tannic red. Dark-ruby in color. Mint, chocolate and berry aromas. Full-bodied and very tannic, with a mouthpuckering, velvety texture. Still needs time. Best Cos-Labory ever made.--1989 Bordeaux horizontal. Best after 2005. James Suckling, Wine spectator 1999.
