"The 1989 tastes like a hypothetical blend of their 1986 and 1982. It is less powerful and concentrated than the 1982, but not nearly as backward nor as tannic as the 1986. Dark ruby, with a more perfumed, toasty character than usual, this medium-bodied, currant-flavored wine exhibits plenty of depth, low acidity, good tannins, and an understated yet authoritative style that makes it a benchmark for its type. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2020. 90 Points." - Robert Paker, Wine Advocate
