BUY THE WINE

Michael Steinberger: Even deeper color than the ’90, the ’89 shows the same complexity on the nose, with black fruit, floral, brown sugar, and truffles. Dense and fleshy, with massive tannins. Unlike the ’90, it doesn’t quite live up to its renown—a bit disjointed, the parts at cross-purposes. Maybe it was an offbottle, or maybe the wine hasn’t aged as well as hoped. Still tastes good. A-/A (18.5)
