  Served as a flight with 1989, the later never opened up.
  (bottle open for 1 hr) Fantastic nose of red fruit, roses, mostly strawberries,earth and
  horse sh... On the palate quite masculin, well balanced, red fruit, great acidity to balance
  but still the fruit is very much there, nice legant after taste. Drink now, but will last
  another decade, masterpiece of winemaking in a great vintage. myscore 95.

  Tasted blind side by side with its 1989 sibling. Orange tinge. On the nose lots of mushrooms, feels mature, Old World. Lovely elegance here with sour cherries and silky texture. Drinking beautifully now.

  Great wine. Age, tawny, medium body, plum, grocery store, tobacco, orange, medicinal, raisin, coffee, dry, tannins, acidity, eucalyptos, opens more tannins after 10 min in glass. Was decant 3 hours. Lot of age to go.

  decanted for 3 hours and drank over the following 3. medium ruby with some browning at the rim. pretty nose of goudron and dark fruits. in the mouth firmly tannic but not overwhelmingly so. adds tobacco and some earth. really nice wine. can age longer but drinking very well now.
