Drinking even more beautifully than 18 months ago. Beautiful nose, big fruits, and that whole cigar leaf thing going on, with hints of chocolate. But the reward here is the generously long finish. Wow!

1989 vintage. Multiple (6) bottles decanted and tasted after 1 hr, 2hrs and 4hrs. Still a bit rambunctious but some of the spiky edges have folded inwards and the overall impression is less "Ruler of the known world" as it once was. Seemed a tad more advanced/accelerated than my last visit. Still very very nice. Would like to taste again before officially going totally OPD/DOA on such a historically great wine. 4.4.23.

Happy New Year! This wine was very light bodied for a Beadeaux, but with some great spice flavour. Would have liked a bit more weight and body.

This seemed riper than the 90 I had a few days ago with a hint of maderization. Not sure if this was s bad btl as this like the 90 was purchased on release. I don’t recall any past btls with this issue but it has been several years since last trying.
