The dark ruby/purple-colored 1989 is evolving at a glacial pace. The wine exhibits some earthy, black-cherry, pepper, and spice scents, rich, expansive, chewy, full-bodied, unctuous flavors, and light to moderate tannin in the long, lusty, high-alcohol finish. This wine is far more concentrated and delineated than the 1990. Anticipated maturity: now-2007. Last tasted 6/96.
