Chewy and agreeable '89. Good, dark-ruby color, and smoke, berry and cherry aromas. Medium-bodied, with velvety tannins and a medium finish. Still needs time to open.
The 1989 is a graceful, medium-bodied wine displaying the vintage's soft, silky texture, plenty of alcohol, low acidity, and aging potential of 4-8 years. It is hard not to admire its sweet, round, gentle nature.
