Community Tasting Note

Monday, February 18, 2019 - 1989 Bordeaux - 30 years on. (Famous Treasure, Capitol Piazza, Singapore): Beautiful, this was classic Pichon-Lalande. The nose had that lovely feminine touch to it, with leafy tobacco, loamy earth, and then wafts of sweet cassis touched with little floral drifts. The palate was beautiful as well. Soft, silky, balanced, with wonderfully resolved tannins and gentle acidity, draped like a velvety robe around a beautifully glowing core of cassis and sweet berries; all this lined with charming notes of earth and cedar and tobacco and gentle spice, just gliding away into a wonderfully effortless finish that quietly went on and on and on and on. Not as clearly powerful as the 1989 Lynch-Bages that we had alongside, but this was elegant, ethereal, and drinking perfectly. What a great wine. A beautiful Lalande drinking at the peak of its powers.
