Château Haut-Brion Graves Red Bordeaux Blend 1989
The prodigious 1989 Haut-Brion is one of the greatest first-growths I have ever tasted. It has always reminded me of what the 1959 must have tasted like in its youth, but it is even richer and more compelling aromatically. The wine exhibits an opaque ruby/purple color, as well as a sweet nose of jammy fruit, tobacco, spicy oak, minerals, and smoke. Fabulously concentrated, with huge levels of fruit, extract, and glycerin, this wine is nearly viscous because of its thickness and richness. Low acidity gives the wine even more appeal and adds to its precociousness... Robert Parker

Deep and complex. Gnarly slightly wild fruit. Earthiness, intense and yet reduced. While not the best bottle of this I’ve had it’s still pretty amazing stuff. A long life ahead

Spectacular vintage though I am still trying to guess decant time. This one was decanted 90 minutes and drunk over the next three hours. Tastes as similar as prior. Takes time to expose its wondrous complexity! Next time will decant three hours

My good friend JK always said when you open a 89 HB it usually will be the best wine in the room. This was the case!

Mycket mognad man samtidigt en fin ”sidenkänsla” här. Bara druckit vinet ungt innan men stilen känns igen. En klar favorit i Bordeauxs finare sortiment.
