  Quelle belle surprise à 32 ans! La robe est encore fort jeune, avec des bords légèrement aqueux. Le nez est racé, tertiaire, d'intensité moyenne. Ah, ce goût incomparable des bordeaux de millésimes chauds quand ils titraient 12.5°... L'équilibre est juste parfait, la bouche est toute en finesse et le vin présente une belle longueur. En pleine forme!

  Consistent with my posting from 11/4/2011.
  
  Drank alongside the 2002 vintage, which did not stand a chance against 1989!

  As beautiful and mellow as only an old Bordeaux from a great vintage and vineyard can taste! When opening the bottle I first was afraid that it would be dead as the cork crumbled when I tried to get it out. After filtering the wine from the cork residue and decanting for one hour, this Bordeaux blossomed so splendidly from tannins, rubber and a hint of fruit into lots of mild cherries and blueberries, light oak and cocoa. And it even got better while drinking it during the next few hours. So happy I got another bottle in my cellar!
  Would guess that it is peaking right now but could also be good for another 5 - 20 years...
