"Darker in color and with another notch on the concentration belt, the 1989 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reserve is a fully mature Chateauneuf that’s overflowing with character. Also from a hot year (even more so than the 1990), it has a more muscular feel than the ’90, with blackberry and currants, ground pepper, herbs and earthy characteristics all present in its full-bodied, concentrated and angular personality."
