1989 vintage. Great fill, good (slightly dryish) cork. Decanted and tasted over the course of 3 hours. Great, "silvery" color. Vibrant and youthful nose. Medium body (in 2023?!?!). Ridiculously (and totally unexpectedly) "plushy" mouthfeel. Total unicorn. 1989 was a really nice vintage but not a must have like 2009-2010, 1999 or 1990. Richness dropped a little on the finish but not the concentration. Quality of the producer, juice, place and vintage all shone through during the experience. Based on this bottle, this can bushwack through the next 10-12 years without worry. No rush to crush. Love the ancient price tags.12.9.23.
