Information on the vintage 1989 red Bordeaux : 5/5 Unquestionably a great vintage and one which brought the decade to a resounding close. Lots of exceptional wines.
(03-2005) Deep crimson hue. A lovely regal Pauillac nose: cedar, pine with that Merlot lending it a ripe cherry/blackberry fruitiness. The palate is not complex but very harmonious and well-balanced. Quite tannic at first but becomes supple with aeration, quite mellow. Raspberry, black truffle and burnt toast. Smooth satiny finish with a dark chocolate aftertaste.
(05-1999) Aromas of blackberry, cherry and wood. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a ripe fruit aftertaste. Needs time to mellow and open. Big and rich for Duhart.
