"A complex nose of subtle menthol intermixed with black currants,cherries,spice box,cedar,and herbs emerges from this fully mature 1990.It is a fleshy,round,generously endowed Margaux,with silky tannins,low acidity,and beautiful purity.Drink it with great pleasure now or cellar it for another decade".

"I hope I am not too optimistic about the potential of the 1990 Rausan Segla as it is one wine that requires a significant investment in patience.It reveals an opaque purple color,but the wine is broodingly backward with a formidable tannin level.Closer examination,however,reveals large quantities of sweet,earthy,cassis fruit,full-body,and a leathery toughness.The wine is pure,with huge flavor extraction,as well as mouthsearing tannin.In previous tastings it revealed more openness and less aggressiveness.All the component parts appear to be present,but this massive wine has gone into a dormant state.Give it 7-8 years more of bottle age; it may be a 30-year wine".
