Initially rich saddle leather and earth show through on the nose and palate. Not as complex or elegant as the 1990 but lovely nonetheless. A bit ripe on the palate. Color is a mature brick red. Will fall apart with air and time so don't dally. Palate and nose flatten with air

Really nice wine. Violets, spice, leather. Great stuff. '89 a terrific vintage.

One dimensional flavor profile. It’s smooth with a relatively long finish, but still one dimensional. Lighter on the palate with mild fruit and very light licorice and light on the tannins.

17.5/20 (93/100) Сложный и развитой букет ароматов табака, сушеных ягод и грибов, дёгтя и легким отголоском маринованых овощей. Довольно тельное с высокой кислотностью и зрелыми танинами. Насыщенное во вкусе. Отлично!

The cork disintegrated and the wine had turned. Not a great night for Crush Wine and Spirits in NYC.

Excellent Pomerol. Dark fruit mild tannin some acid left. Improved over a couple of hours in the glass. Doesn't feel like it could cellar much longer but showing really well right now.
