Lovely cherry, currant and berry aromas. Full- to medium-bodied, with silky tannins and a long finish. Pretty Poujeaux.--1990 Bordeaux retrospective. Drink now. 20,000 cases made. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2000
Oaky, with good fruit, the well-made, medium-bodied, moderately tannic, attractive 1990 will provide fine drinking over the next 10-12 years. Feb 1993, www.robertparker.com
Aromas of sweet cherries, mocha and oak. A straightforward, round wine that lacks the sweetness and mid-palate richness of the vintage. Seems slightly pinched on the finish. Where's the ripeness? 84. A second sample showed considerably more fat and richness, as well as ripe finishing fruit, and merited an 87.
