This is incontestably, a very good classic Bordeaux. Red current nose. A superior silky, sweet feel to the mouth and good length. An excellent value for money.
For those who like an affable style of wine that is easy to drink, the 1989 offers generous amounts of soft, easygoing blackcurrant fruit, medium body, some hollowness, and a smooth finish. It is deceptively easy to drink, but essentially unexciting.
A touch of coffee on the nose; good texture, a refreshing citrus squeeze.
A balanced, elegant wine. Dark ruby-colored at the center and a red edge. Lovely aromas of raspberries, spices and cherries follow through to a full-bodied palate with supersilky tannins and a long, caressing finish.
