The 1989 displays an enthralling bouquet of black-cherries, spring flowers, minerals and toasty new oak. Medium to full-bodied, it possesses good acidity for the vintage, soft tannins, and a long, velvety, rich finish. This is a stylish yet authoritative La Gaffeliere. Anticipated maturity: 1996-2010. Feb 1993, www.robertparker.com
