The bottle was left to sit for 10 hours before decanting, allowing the sediments to settle. Medium garnet core, medium pale garnet rim. Leather, forest floor, earthy, mushroom on nose, lots of red fruits on the palette, light to medium body, high acidity, little but a bit rough tannin, short to medium finish. 89 pts

Brought to dinner out so no formal notes: very deep and dark nose and palate; dark fruited and rich. Scores from the group ranged from 91-93, I was at 91+

Ripe and mature black fruit aromas and flavors. Some good meaty character comes through in middle. Certainly advanced, this won't get any better. Slightly murky finish. Better than another bottle from earlier this year.

Ruchottes-Chambertin Dinner (Boka - Chicago IL): Tasted single blind. Funky, slightly dirty, also a bit over-ripe, so many of us were able to identify this as the 1989. Reasonable black fruit flavors with a good earthy complement. Less interesting on finish, which didn't come across as particularly pristine.

Something odd here - smells like potting soil and not much more enjoyable on the palate. Dirty. Not enjoyable.
