Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
Awesome concentration, sheer precision of flavors, and extraordinary fatness and intensity are mind-boggling. This is another wine to put away for at least a decade and then watch unfold for the next 20-35 years. It is a wine of extraordinary richness. As much as I admire her 1988 and 1989, for the long-term, the 1990 will achieve the greatest degree of complexity and provide the most pleasure.Wine Spectator
Massive and gorgeous, with tons of violet, plum and raspberry aromas and flavors and so many toasty, smoky, vanilla-flavored new oak nuances that it almost masks the fruit now. Very firm and solid despite its perfumed, immediate appeal. 240 cases made.Additional Information

FranceThough French wines are the highest valued wines in the world, esteemed wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne were only enjoyed locally until 150 years ago when transportation improvements made them widely available. French wine production is governed by a strict quality-control system, which regulates the grapes used in each region and classifies wineries according to an elaborate cru hierarchy. Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc are just a few of the important grape varietals with roots in French soil.View all our items from France
