(Chelsea Wine Storage.): Fully mature and maybe even a little past peak, it shows plenty of petrol notes with an aged stone fruit character, citrus, mineral and hints of spiciness. Just a little bit of sweetness, but it's balanced nicely by the acids and by a bitter citrus pith note on the finish. A bottle of the regular '89 FE tried within the past six or so months showed fresher. A-.

I like Riesling and Chenin with a little sweetness with lobster, so that's another option. It worked well with the charcuterie we were having and it it's also an excellent match with cheese.
