1989 Clos St Jacques
This almost felt young; it had some crisp red fruits and was a bit lighter on the palate with a healthy core of acidity. The finish was long and sultry. This was an impressive performance in tough company.

This was also, not surprisingly, a bit tight. It had lovely, but not exuberant aromatics. The palate had some dense fruits and a bit of grip. The finish was very long. This wine was almost like it was viewed through lightly frosted glass; you can see the beautiful potential but it never completely opened up over the course of 5-6 hours open. I’ll try again in 5 years.
