Wine Journal
Jan 2009 Neal Martin 94 Drink 2009 - 2020
Juxtaposed against the ’96, this nose here on the ’89 has a certain mellowness to it, a slight meaty quality with touches of burning embers, pencil shavings and a touch of peppermint inflecting the black fruit. The word “avuncular” keeps springing to mind! The palate is medium-bodied, wonderfully balanced with great focus. A touch of dried fig and cedar on the Pauillac-like finish, although it does not have the persistency on the finish as the ’96. A point. Drink now-2020. Tasted July 2008.

May 2008 Neal Martin 95 Drink 2008 - 2020 $382-$1100
Garnet core with thin tawny rim. A very lifted, perfumed, cedary nose with a touch of peppermint. You can still feel the warmth from the summer with a faint hint of prune. The palate is delectable: medium-bodied, very fine tannins, a savoury meaty edge, very harmonious with that peppermint tincture coming through again on the finish. Chateau Margaux mimicking Pauillac. Very fine, surfeit finesse and character, a Margaux that begs to be imbibed rather than analysed. Drink now-2020+ Tasted March 2008.

Feb 1997 Robert Parker 89 Drink: 2002 - 2022
As prodigious as the 1990 is, the 1989 seems to typify so many of the Medoc first-growths in this vintage - excellent, but undistinguished for its reputation. The wine possesses a leathery, oaky nose, medium body, and good ripeness, but next to the 1990, the 1989 is dwarfed by that wine's richness, intensity, and length. The tannins come across as more elevated, as well as slightly greener and tougher. The 1989 may put on more weight and come together, much like the 1985 did after 4-6 years in the bottle, but for now, this wine seems to follow the pattern of many 1989 Medoc first-growths, revealing an unexciting level of quality. Give it 5-6 more years of cellaring, and drink it over the following 20.
