Bing cherry perfection. I make my wine at lafite and latours but my heart is at calon. This wine ain't just for Valentine's folks. The '89 is where it's at!

Getting towards the end of #epic but still has grip, fruit, softness, and a good bit of character. If you have an '89 drink it. Now is the time.

1989 vintage. From magnum. Nice fill and cork better than expected. Not decanted and first tasted after 7 (seven!!) hours after opening. Talk about task saturation...Light body with some brickish notes but back end concentration along with dark cherry and plum notes fronting earth + tobacco histories. Good length of finish. Drink whatever format ya got cuz it's definitely time unless you like playing wine pathologist and reconstituting tissue/flavors to flesh out what once was and rebuilding around the existing skeleton. Eminently doable as long as you're intimately familiar with the producer/wine, have previously tasted the wine and have really good notes/memory. 05.11.25.
