Still tasting as if it were only 7-8 years of age

Cheval Blanc - 1989 (750ml) Size:750ml Cellar it for 4-5 yearsSomewhat of a disappointment in a sometimes great yet variable vintage, the color a dark ruby with amber at the edge, this wine shows sweet plum, fig, and currant notes, along with some herbs and earth. In the mouth, it is surprisingly lightweight for a wine from a superior year, medium bodied, relatively lush, but an essentially one dimensional wine with a spicy, surprisingly short finish. Drink it over the next 10 15 years. Last tasted, 12 02.
