Description
When I first tasted the 1989 Grand-Puy-Lacoste in this blind tasting I thought it possessed a Graves-like tobacco/mineral character. In contrast to the blockbuster, full-blown, massive wines produced by this estate in 1990 and 1982, the medium-weight 1989 is elegant, spicy, evolved, and already revealing plenty of cedar and cassis fruit. A delicious, generously-endowed, low acid wine, it will offer mature drinking now and over the next 12-15 years.

Tasting note
1990年的拉古斯城堡酒是波亞克優雅的典範。這款酒展現了強勁而飽滿的體格,帶有一種質樸的魅力,既迷人又複雜。口感上,成熟的黑醋栗、煙草葉和雪茄盒交織著綠葉、辛辣草本和明亮、清脆的紅色水果的豐富層次。醒酒約一小時後,這款酒美妙地展開,顯露出它的層次。無論是搭配烤羊排或威靈頓牛排等強烈口味的菜餚,這款酒都能提升任何用餐體驗。

With about an hour of decanting, this wine opens up beautifully, revealing its layered nuances.
