Avis d'expert

90 / 100

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(04-1995)
The 1989 is the most loosely structured of the 1988, 1989 and 1990 vintages, but it reveals plenty of intense, honeyed fruit in a rich, authoritative, full-bodied format. A big, powerhouse, sweet, heavy wine with a penetrating fragrance of honey and flowers, this generously endowed wine already drinks well, but can easily last for 15-20 years.

92 / 100

Wine Spectator

(04-1995)
Intense and exotic; ripe and rich botrytis flavors explode on the palate to a long finish. Very sweet and full in body, it packs in the spice, white pepper, cream, coffee, quince and dried apricot notes.
