Offers leather and earth on the nose, subtle and perfumed. Full-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and firm tannins. Fresh and rich, with a clean finish of chocolate and fruit. Not a lot of length here, but very pretty. Holding on nicely.¿'89/'99 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2009). Drink now. -James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2010
Wine Spectator Score: 90/100
The 1989 has an intense bouquet of creamy blackcurrant fruit and exotic spices. There is even a touch of the famous Pauillac lead-pencil smell. Medium-bodied, rich and alcoholic, this voluptuous-styled wine has all the components necessary to seduce tasters for the next 8-12 years. Anticipated maturity: 1994- 2008. Feb 1993, www.robertparker.com
