WA 92 (2/2022): The 1989 La Tour Blanche is drinking well today, offering up aromas of honeysuckle, marmalade, preserved peaches and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, sumptuous and enveloping, it's fleshy and sensual, with a generous core of fruit, ripe but succulent acids and a long, perfumed finish. This has aged with grace.
VM 90 (3/2025): The 1989 La Tour Blanche offers light crème brûlée and yellow fruit aromas. It's not overly complex, but it is nicely focused. The palate is medium-bodied with toffee-ish notes. This is very tangy with a touch of Seville orange marmalade and what feels like a lot of residual sugar, although there is only 120 g/L. There's just a slight attenuation on the finish, but it continues to give pleasure. Tasted at the La Tour Blanche vertical at the château. (Drink between 2025-2040). Neal Martin. |

| WA 97 (11/1997): The favorite sweet wine of millionaires, Chateau d'Yquem has, not unexpectedly, turned in a brilliant effort with their newly released 1989. It is a large-scaled, massively rich, unctuously-textured wine that should evolve effortlessly for a half century or more. It does not reveal the compelling finesse and complexity of the 1988 or 1986, but it is a far heavier, richer wine than either of those vintages. It is reminiscent of the 1976, with additional fat and glycerin. The wine is extremely alcoholic and rich, with a huge nose of smoky, honey-covered coconuts and overripe pineapples and apricots. As with most young vintages of Yquem, the wine's structure is barely noticeable. These wines are so highly extracted and rich yet approachable young, it is difficult to believe they will last for 50 or more years. The 1989 is the richest Yquem made in the eighties, and it has an edge in complexity over the powerhouse 1983. It remains to be seen whether this wine will develop the extraordinary aromatic complexity possessed by the promising 1988 and 1986 Yquems. |
