Jahrgangsverlauf VINTAGE 1989
Flowering was early following a particularly hot month of May. The summer was extremely sunny and then the beautiful month of September meant that each grape
variety could be picked at optimum ripeness.

TASTING NOTE
1989 was an early year, with flowering three weeks ahead of usual. Now at 30 years old, a floral aspect curls out of the glass, with touches of roses and peonies, followed on the palate by bilberries and blackberries, with a cigar smoke and eucalyptus finish. It's still vigorous in its tannic structure, but it's soft and supple enough to enjoy today.
This bottle was recorked by hand at the winery last year, with five people checking every single one of the 5,000 bottles remaining at the chateau. The wines were topped
up from magnums of the 1989. 3% Petit Verdot completes the blend - a variety not used in the grand vin since 1996.
