Exhibiting good tannin, the exotic, orange-scented 1990 offers up ripe aromas of tropical fruits, cassis, and new oak. Rich, medium to full-bodied, with excellent concentration, low acidity, and a velvety, even voluptuous mouth-feel, this wine should provide delicious drinking over the next 8-10 years.
Seen better days. Medium ruby-garnet color, with a cherry, tobacco aroma. Medium-bodied, with slightly dry tannins and a medium finish with an earthy aftertaste.--1990 Bordeaux retrospective. Drink now. 26,500 cases made. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2000
