Refer to our catalog for an explanation of these abbreviations. Wine notes: "Inching closer and closer to the celestial 1990, is the 1989. This Cuv e was fabulous when tasted in Bonneau s cellars, but it closed down after bottling. Possibly even more powerful and tannic than the 1990, as well as more backward, the 1989 looks to be a great classic. It is a R serve des Celestins to forget for another 3-8 years. It possesses all the characteristics of the 1990, but everything is packed into a more linear personality. Amazing stuff!..."(99pts) Provenance: The Art of Collecting: Fifty-three lots from a successful international restaurateur, who ranks among the world’s most important fine art collectors and approaches wine with the same trained eye.
