Purple, medium plus nose of herbs, minerals, smoke, cedar, cassis, coffee, raspberry. Medium plus body, medium plus intensity and medium acidity with medium tannin. Palate matches, this is still well textured and structured with plenty of life ahead of it. 90pts.

Neat. That is the first positive tasting note that I have ever seen on the '89 GL!

Bought from K&L about 1 year ago. Cork was saturated almost to the top. Medium ruby red with bricking. Interesting nose of cassis, tobacco, and eathy funk. There was only a trace of dark fruits and spice. When tasted not much came through and any flavor that showed up disappeared almost instantly. We set this aside and opened another bottle. Came back to this a few hours later and not much had changed. Corked and put in the fridge. Not expecting much tonight. 80pts.
