esbrown reviewed Château d'Issan Margaux 1989 on February 7, 2006

Still sporting a lovely garnet color, with only a slight brick and fade on the edges. Finessed and long aromas of ripe currents and cherries, along with hints od dry wood, dust and roasted muchrooms. The palate was filled with sweet red fruits, dried cherries and spice, but also intense dry acidity and wood tannins. The finish is long and supple at first, but fades to green olives and cedar. Very good, but don't wait too much longer on this one.
