Critic Notes
While the 1989 is not as concentrated as the 1987 or 1988, it still possesses an immensely attractive lemony, grassy, oaky nose, medium-bodied, soft, richly fruity flavors, and good length. It will not have extended aging potential given the low acidity, but it already provides great enjoyment. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 4/91. Jan 1998, www.robertparker.com
Score: 88-/100 Robert Parker
