P: quite conc, long length, lovely rubber temp finish, soft tannins. spice, strawberry and mocha flavours persist.
Great classic wine with lots of concentration from a great year suggesting much more potential to come. 35 Euros.. Good value. Fab wine. Fully expect more tertiary flavours and complexity to come in time. — 6 years ago

Yes very classic and still quite young but a very enjoyable wine. Cassis and mineral on the nose. In the mouth quite high in tannin and acid , more of the tobacco and mineral and black currant, slightly austere perhaps .. Quite reasonable finish and nice balance. Very British claret. Will age well I would imagine as all parts are in balance . I enjoyed it with roast lamb. — 9 years ago

1989 vintage. A near perfect bottle with loads of ripe dark fruit flavors and classic Rutherford dust additions. Sweet tannins still providing structure and grip, and it's American oak treatment nicely integrated. Long, satisfying finish, where fruit, acidity and minerality comes in waves. Very, very impressive and behaving 10 years younger than it actually is. — 10 years ago
