Chambers Street has a handful of bottles of a rare 1989 Pinon that Brad raved about in the only tasting note I've seen. Thought I'd flag it here in case any Disorderlies would like to grab a bottle.
1989 Pinon Réserve Passerillée

Vivid wines at Don's. (Don's): One of the special bottles Garrelt got while working a harvest at Pinon. Made from non-botrytisized grapes, this reminded me of how the ’59 Pinon showed at Dressner’s 50th birthday party some years ago in how primary, muscular and almost tannic it is. Yellow in color with youthful quince, chalk, acacia, honeysuckle and golden delicious apple flavors and aromas. The wine is massive and certainly Moelleux in sweetness, yet lithe thanks to it’s brilliant structure. I think this wine captivated us more than any other. Solid A.
