A very delicious wine that is still going strong. Good notes of clay like minerality with notes of dried red and dark fruits consisting of cherries and black currant. Quite smooth with some fine tannins in the back end. The age really shows in this wine but not in a over the hill kind of way. It is in a good place today and will not get any better. Should plateau just fine for at least 5 years with good storage but no reason to hold it any longer.

Absolut nonsense ! the wine is perfect and in line with ratings for the 1990. Possible that you had a corked or otherwise flawed bottle, but you should know how it smells or how it tastes - otherwise you better discontinue publishing wine-critics. A fair rating for the 1989 Tronquoy-Lalande: 87 - 89 pts

Too bad. But poor cork didn’t allow for proper aging.

nicht so köstlich wie vor 10 Tagen m Felix.
gereift, keineswegs „vorbei“ noch viel Säure, etwas sperrig. Frucht?
Aus diesem Jg kein NachKauf
