Chateau Rausan-Ségla 1989

Out at dinner with a friend, I ordered a Baron Pichon but was told all were gone. Instead the waiter suggested this Margaux. The bouquet was quite intense with blackberry, cassis, licorice, oak, cream, nuts and earth. On the palate it was superbly balanced, with good tannins, nice acidity and long length. It seemed it was still developing, and possibly could go another 10 years. Quite lovely and matched our lamb and beef dishes very well.
