Splash decanted just prior to service. The 1989 pours a deep yellow color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is clean and laden with tangerine, carmelized pineapple and assorted orchard fruit: pear, peach, ripe golden delicious apple, along with honey, chamomile, wet asphalt, and almond skin. On the palate, the wine is off-dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. Absolutely stunning and seemingly evergreen. Drink now through…I don’t know, 2039+? Thanks for the assist @Lyle Fass
