Beausejour Duffau Lagarrosse 1989 (1.5L)

Climens 1989 (375ML)

97 WA / 96 VM Tasted at Chateau Climens. This has a slightly deeper hue than the 1990. The nose is even more defined than the 1990 with quince, barley sugar, dried apricot and a touch of Clementine. The palate is...

Guigal La Turque 1989 (750ML)

99 RP The precocious, sweet, jammy 1989 La Turque's smoky, licorice, and black-raspberry aromas, as well as its phenomenal richness, make for another extraordinary tasting experience. Full-bodied, dense, and thick, this...

Haut Brion 1989 (3.0L)

Palmer 1989 (750ML)

96 WA / 95 RP Deep garnet-brick. Dark chocolate covered cherries, espresso, cinnamon, rose petals, tree bark and loam. Medium to full body with layers of concentrated fruit and spice flavours supported by crisp acidity and a...

Rauzan Segla 1989 (750ML)

90 WS The 1989 Rausan-Segla, purchased from a retailer since I did not own any, tasted slightly disjointed. My instincts suggested it was a bit cooked, probably from being exposed to high heat somewhere along its journey...
