Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru, Cros Parantoux--Vintage 1989
Côte de Nuits, Henri Jayer
In original wooden case
A monumentally spicy nose opens with such breed and complexity that it is of undeniable grand cru quality. The medium-full, beautifully delineated yet velvety flavors offer terrific mouth feel, stunning length and no shortage of supporting structure; indeed this finishes with a certain chewiness. In sum, this is elegant, extremely complex and very long and unlike many '89s, this is not even breathing hard and while it probably won't last as long as the '88, it should hold for another 20 years.
