Yeasty aromas of toasted bread, toffee and roasted hazelnut, along with brighter apple and pear fruit notes. Fresh and brisk, with excellent breadth and weight. A very rich, fairly dry and harmonious wine with a long, lively finish. Structured and fine for a '89. This bottle showed far fresher than the sample I tasted a year ago.
