The 1989 vintage at Mont-Redon has clearly produced a great wine….The 1989 offers up a superb bouquet of dark berries, cigar smoke, tar, forest floor, Christmas tree spice, grilled meat, espresso and wood ash. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, suave and absolutely à point, with great complexity, perfect balance, moderate tannins, bright acids and great length and grip. A flat out stunning bottle of Châteauneuf du Pape! 2008-2040.
