These wines are bulletproof, regularly lasting 50+ years. 1989 is one of the great Vouvray vintages (there are no notes for this wine on either JR or ERP; but the Haut Lieu Moelleux wines from 1989 score 96 and 98). Not stated on the label, but this is the demi-sec bottling. I am selling half of this case and keeping the other half. From CT:
I just love this wine and consider it one of the best demi-secs the estate has made. Quite ripe with more of everything than the '46, though, amazingly, the colors were identical. Certainly sweeter than the older wine, with much more of an apricot character. Youthful, and still fairly unevolved, though just starting to take on earl grey notes. Joe finds it fairly atypical for a demi given its sweetness and what he describes as a "furry" character. There's a huge frame to this wine that should see it last longer than most of us here. Sharon prefers the drier '46 to this given the additional complexity and drier character, but she can no longer say with a straight face that she doesn't like Chenin Blanc. Solid A.
Note I have stated the fill levels as BN; they vary from BN to IN.
