1989 Dominus

[Bucko]

Here is a tasting note from an on-line acquaintance:

1989 - The first vintage to contain Petit Verdot (though at 1%, it's barely a factor here). Despite a slightly higher grade than the 83, this is actually the only wine I
didn't enjoy. Dark red, but still bright. A smoky dark cassis and black cherry nose overlaid with grilled meat and smoky truffles. So far, so good. However, the vintage's dilution is in evidence in the fruit -- which is slightly canteloupe-esque -- and the sweet oak (more obvious because of the missing fruit) and unintegrated tannin fight it out without regard to structure or balance. C+
