Chambertin--Vintage 1989
Côte de Nuit, Leroy
Signs of old seepage
"A powerful blast of primary and secondary aromas that possess a slightly herbal character provide a dramatic introduction to big, structured, very rich flavors and excellent length. As with many '89s at this point in their evolution, this is more about finesse and elegance than density and power though there is a robust character to the ripe tannins. That said, many '89s are completely ready to go whereas this still needs another 3 to 5 years to be at its best and should be relatively long lived. Consistent notes."BH, Jul 29, 2006
