Score 85/100 · Drink 1993-1999, Robert Parker, Feb 1993

The 1989's finish is abrupt, but there is a black fruit character that is accompanied by copious quantities of toasty oak. Drink it over the next 3-6 years.

Intriguing oak and fruit aromas give way to ripe, smooth, polished, complex cherry, prune, chocolate and smoke flavors. There's no shortage of tannins on the finish. Tight and compact. best to cellar until 1996 or '97. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 1992
