Some notes on 1989 Grande-Puy Lacoste 375m

[sedhead]

Hello. I'm new to these boards.
I purchased this wine about 7 yeras ago at b-21[b-21.com] in fl. It is located on US 19 S. between Newport Richey and Tarpon Springs.
This wine was competely closed when I first opened it. I went out shopping for about 4 hours and tried again.
My first reaction to the aroma was that my mouth watered. Pavlovian? Strong odors of tannins and berries. Dark red color and crystal clear.
The tannis are still too strong for my taste but it is well balanced with the fruit. I also thought there was a "chocolately" aftertaste to it; very long finish. I still have one 1/2 bottle and two full sized[750m]left. I'm going to wait another 2-3 years before I try the other 1/2 bottle hoping the tannins will smooth out by that time.
