Drink: 2006 - 2016


A bottle ordered at Andrew Edmund restaurant in Soho. A clear, pale garnet core with tawny rim. The nose has moderate intensity, well-defined although not as complex as other Pomerol 1989's that I have encountered: cherry, dried leaves, mulberry and smoke. Tends to gain intensity and lift in the glass, with an irony component. The palate is medium-bodied, not complex, but well-balanced, crisp and fleshy. Very natural and unassuming; loose-knit, but with a core of red berried fruits, mulberry, leather and a touch of bitter chocolate. Not much grip, a little dryness on the finish. Although not a great Right Bank 1989, this has charm and grace. Drink now and over the next 5-10 years. Tasted November 2006.
