Blind '89's for a Monday.... (My house): Dark garnet, slight rose rim color. Full dusty nose of cedar, leather, black cherry/dried fruit, licorice. Great nose. Still youthful in the mouth....layered rich dark berry fruit, some tannin, dusty cedar box, chocolate covered dried fruit, slight tart and spicy berry finish. This wine is drinking amazing for it's age, and the Vintage. Drank along side an '89 Mouton,'89 Clerc Milon, and '86 Monte Bello....it did seem sweeter after tasting those...more caramel notes....but still, hell-of-a wine! My #2

A beautiful magnum of nectar of the Gods with a silky mouth feel and heavenly fruit...one of the best wines I have had this year.

Still showing wonderfully. Decanted for an hour plus and it just continued to drink better as the night wore on.
