Tonight we had some venison with a 1989 Petit Village. The wine was very good, but needed some more time. The wine was very astringent when it was first opened. It was drunk 45 minutes later. The wine tasted of blackberries and currants. The wine also tasted of the gravelly soil of Pomerol. I do not know how to describe that taste, but many Pomerols have it. This will be a very good wine in a few years. Luckilly this was the first bottle of the 1/2 case I bought a while ago.
