Redemption for a underperforming bottle from our last go at this 1992. If you're buying old wine and didn't anticipate bottle variation, you need to know that's just part of the game. This bottle is fantastic.
(Enjoying alongside the '88 again today, no slouch on that bottle!)
On the Lawn at Tanglewood this afternoon with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our conductor Andris Nelsons is leading Sarah KIRKLAND SNIDER (Forward into Light; BSO Premiere), PROKOFIEV (Violin Concerto No. 2 in G Minor, Opus 63) and DVOŘÁK (Symphony No. 7 in D Minor, Opus 70).
Our soloist today Augustin Hadelich rounds out the program with Prokofiev’s intense Violin Concerto No. 2, and Andris Nelsons leads the BSO in Dvořák’s Symphony No. 7 – sometimes called the composer's greatest symphony. — 2 years ago

Splash decanted just prior to service. The 1989 pours a deep yellow color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is clean and laden with tangerine, carmelized pineapple and assorted orchard fruit: pear, peach, ripe golden delicious apple, along with honey, chamomile, wet asphalt, and almond skin. On the palate, the wine is off-dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. Absolutely stunning and seemingly evergreen. Drink now through…I don’t know, 2039+?
