Description

Wonderfully deep, rich but mature. Noted its fragrance and silky texture. Retrained but harmonious, a powerful fleshy wine. ****(*) 2010-2030 Michael Broadbent

As one might expect, this is a brilliant wine, but it remains shockingly young, even for the fast evolving 1990s. Its deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by a classic, nearly restrained set of aromatics that includes notions of sweet black cherries, black currants, lead pencil, and wet stones. In the mouth, it is full-bodied, and while technically low in acidity, there is a freshness, delineation, and classicism in this full-throttle, rich, concentrated, impeccable 1990. While still youthful, it is easy to appreciate despite its substantial tannins. It is not quite as backward as the 1990 Lafite Rothschild or 1990 Latour. Anticipated maturity: now-2035. 97/100 Robert Parker

Hedonism Wines' Enomatic Sampling (Hedonism Wines, Mayfair): Bouquet slightly green, but I liked this particular bottle: sweet, full-bodied, chocolate, malt, earth, underwood. Really great today.

"Best of the Best" Tasting (Switzerland): Tasted blind, 3hrs decant: Clear ruby in color. Nose of dark berries (currant), black licorice, tar and smoke. Very nicely integrated tannins, power, elegance and a good length make this a very nice LLC. Drink now with no hurry.

Pop and pour, consumed over next two hours. Beautiful aromatics pour from the glass. I would have been happy just to sniff this all night. Seamless, complex, fascinating, complete, lots of tertiary development, singing from the pop, but evolved in the glass, revealing nuance after nuance, playing like an orchestra on the palate, haunting, lingering finish. Wonderful. 97+

WineBerserkers SF Bordeaux Tasting (Le Charm, San Francisco): Lovely mature Bordeaux nose, earth, good core of black fruits, nice balance with good minerality, graphite; palate is full bodied, red spiced fruit, good concentration of red fruit throughout palate, nice midpalate concentration; medium-long finish. Very nice classically styled mature bordeaux that is ready to drink now but has life left. The nose is awesome. My WOTN (and appeared to be the consensus WOTN for the group). 95-96.

Dinner with Leoville Las Cases 2000, 1990 and 1982 (semi blind) (Restaurant van Baerle, Amsterdam): A stunning bottle, more developed than earlier bottles we had. Wonderfully complex, earth, minerals, meat and blood in the nose. Medium bodied palate, well delineated with tertiary fruits and pronounced iron and mineral tones - reminding of Pauillac. All followed by a long lingering finish of dark earth and truffle tones.
