Monday, April 29, 2024 - No decant. Popped and tasted every 15min. It was ready in 20mins. We also tasted La Mission Haut Brion and Chateau Client all 1989. Also 1995 Chateau Palmer and 2005 Chateau Rauzan-Gassies. The Haut Brion and C. Palmer took the night easily. The Haut Brion was gloriously subtle but still had a complex boutique of flavors! Notes of black tea, cherry, prune, jasmine, and some capsicum. There was a hint of flint, soy sauce, leather, and truffle. One of the longest finishes for a wine I've tasted in a while. Great classic and will pop another in a couple of months. A prodigy vintage!
