Tasting notes
The initial bitterness has faded, but is still present in some bottles.
Fine density and great suppleness; gamey notes combined with candied morello cherries.

Should have been drunk already.
Wine on the decline. |

Comment on the vintage and the
1990 harvest
Second consecutive year of extreme dryness after 1989, although in 1990, September's storms arrived, bringing changes in its wake...
As a consequence, the wines were somewhat more "diluted" than in 1989 - but everything is relative in view of the great richness of these two legendary vintages! |
