Score 85/100 · Drink 1993-2003, Robert Parker, Feb 1993

The 1989 is surprisingly full-bodied for a de Sales, with a deep, intense, black cherry-scented bouquet intertwined with the scents of vanillin and toast. In the mouth, the wine displays fine ripeness, full body, a heady alcohol content, and a long, tannic, rich finish. Anticipated maturity: Now-2003.
