Juxtaposed against the ’96, this nose here on the ’89 has a certain mellowness to it, a slight meaty quality with touches of burning embers, pencil shavings and a touch of peppermint inflecting the black fruit. The word “avuncular” keeps springing to mind! The palate is medium-bodied, wonderfully balanced with great focus. A touch of dried fig and cedar on the Pauillac-like finish, although it does not have the persistency on the finish as the ’96. A point. Drink now-2020. Tasted July 2008.
