Hints of caramel, orange peel, apricot jam and spice run through the 1989 Cristal. Ample, creamy and generous, the 1989 is in great shape today. The slightly forward aromas and flavors suggest the 1989 has arrived at a plateau of maturity. I would prefer to drink it over the next decade or so, although the wine has more than enough density to hold for many years. I have had fresher bottles of the 1989, but this is a fine showing just the same. The 1989 is always a silky, gracious and totally understated Cristal, as it is once again today. “Nineteen eighty-nine was a riper year, and therefore more Pinot-driven, with about 63-64% Pinot in the final blend than the more typical 60%” adds Lécaillon.

Overshadowed by the ‘88 in just about every category. The ‘89 was solid but lacked verve. Both the ‘88 and ‘89 were contributed by @Shawn R and most of the bubblies were sabered off in to the Texas night by an engraved saber from @Joe Lucca to @Shawn R . No armadillos were harmed or threatened by the flying corks.
