Score 90/100 · Drink 1996-2015, Robert Parker, Feb 1993

The 1989 is an immensely impressive wine, exhibiting an opaque black color, and a sensational bouquet of licorice, chocolate, and super-ripe plums. In the mouth, the wine displays immense size, enormous concentration, a tremendous level of tannins, and an intense, alcoholic, long, opulent, low acid finish. Anticipated maturity: 1996-2015.
