94 points Wine Spectator: "A big, brutish wine with lots of everything. Rich aromas of cooked strawberries, earth and tobacco. Full-bodied and chewy, providing masses of tannins, yet it's smooth with ripe fruit and lots of character on the finish. Give it time.--1989 Bordeaux horizontal. (5/31/99)"
93+ points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 1989 Brane-Cantenac has long been the standout from this period. Picked from September 12 to October 15, it has a seductive bouquet of red berry fruit, black tea, bay leaf and just a hint of game and allspice. This is much fresher than the vintages that ensued. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin and crisp acidity. The 1989 is very well balanced, presenting a classic, Pauillac-like, graphite-tinged second half that feels long but not necessarily powerful. This is not actually the best bottle I have encountered, but it is still a lovely mature Margaux. Tasted at the Brane-Cantenac vertical at the château. Drink: 2018-2035. (Jan 2019)"
