While not one of the great Vieux-Telegraphes, 1989 continues to perform well. It is dense, sweet, and ripe, with copious quantities of seaweed, iodine, smoke, black cherry, and plum-like fruit offered in a medium-bodied, slightly tannic style. Fully mature, it should last for another decade. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel (510) 524-1524
