“Pichon Lalande’s 1989 is a beautifully made wine. It exhibits a deep ruby/purple color, and a sweet, roasted noise of rich cassis fruit, herbs, and vanilla. Lush and round, this medium to full-bodied, nicely textured, layered Pichon-Lalande possesses low acidity, outstanding ripeness, and beautiful purity and balance. It is already drinking surprisingly well, so owners should not hesitate to pull a cork. It should continue to offer rich seductive drinking for another 15+ years. 92/100” – Robert Parker, Bordeaux November 1998
