BH 90 (5/2007): As elegant and pure as this wine usually is, the '89 doesn't seem to have quite the freshness that it should and while the rapidly maturing aromas are typical, which is to say there is plenty of earth, spice and game, it lacks real vibrancy. The flavors, by contrast, are rich, structured, beautifully textured and complex and the backend offers solid length. That said, 1989 is merely a very good vintage by the superb standards of this wine. Consistent notes.
VM 87 (9/2018): The 1989 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru frankly pales against the majestic 1990. It feels a little under-nourished on the nose, a vein of greenness that cannot be ignored. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly coarse tannin, improving midway towards the rigid, menthol-tinged finish, but you cannot help feeling that it falls away a little short. I was not impressed when I first tasted this in 2010 and those sentiments remain. Tasted at the Roumier vertical in London. Neal Martin. |
