    A nose of butter and minerals. The minerals are evident on the palate as well, and along with fresh acidity, they beautifully balance the rich, only slightly mature flavors. A glorious bottle of Meursault!

    Well this was a surprise! Past experience with this estate had me decidedly in the “not my style” camp. This 89 though was more restrained and had much better balance. Still there is ripeness, richness and extraction. It seemed like Jekyl & Hyde sharing this wine rather than trading off. That dichotomy made it a bit strange at times. But overall, an enjoyable and impressive wine.

Thanks for sharing! The '89 Troplong was one of my early Bordeaux epiphanies; though they are horrendously out of fashion on here it’s nice to see the '89 get a shout out [cheers.gif]
