The 1989 suffers in comparison with the 1990 and 1988 vintages, largely because it is drier, with a waxy, Tokay-Pinot Gris-like personality. Although it shows well, it appears smaller-scaled than the fragrant 1988 and super-rich 1990. It will last for two decades, but it does not have the same level of fruit extraction, so once it begins to dry out, it will be less interesting. Last tasted 11/94
