Pizza Night with wines from 1989

This has been a tradition in our home with our friends and the kids, who are now all 21 or older. 3 of the 5 were born in 1989 so I opened a few bottles for them to try with Pizza night.

  Outstanding, old color on the edge, fruit still there including the spiceness of black pepper. It only got better in the glass. Surprised us.

  Very dark color, still young, good fruit and black cherry, some pepper, could last longer. Love to drink from magnums

• 1989 Château d'Yquem 92 Points

  Dark amber color, good viscosity, lasting on the palate, apricot, smooth, better after a while in the glass, really began to come together. Age worthy.

At the end of the evening we moved to the garage for beer pong and a new tradition was born. After the game we finished with a round of fireworks.
