Tasting notes
The 1989 exhibits a huge, smoky, roasted, exotic bouquet of plums and Asian spices. The wine exhibits surprisingly crisp acidity and plentiful but soft tannins. The formidable level of alcohol and sensationally extracted, multi-dimensional fruit flavors make this a brilliant effort. Anticipated maturity: Now-2010. Last tasted, 1/93.
