A very recent tasting by Jane Ansom in bordeaux went as follows :-
Just a beautiful wine that lives up to its reputation as one of the stellar vintages of Cantemerle, showing what can be achieved on this site. Easy to sink into, charcoal, incense, roses, feathery melted tannins, crystalline quality, pure joy, extremely easy to drink. Pascal Berteau technical director at the time, spent pretty much his whole career here except for a stint at Mouton. A huge yield in 1989, they fermented then moved out the wine out of the vats and put in the next lot of grapes three times! Blend given is plantings in the vineyard at the time. Rebottled in 2000. 95pts
