Blackadder 1990

Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin

La Grande Dame Brut Champagne Blend 1990

Quite young looking lemon , just a hint of gold . very fine bubbles , that dissipate quiet quickly in a white wine glass . Lots of roasted nuts , toasted bread , caramel , and a oyster shell , caramelised lemon peel , saffron , lemongrass and a hint of curry . On the palate this has more of the caramel notes , with saffron , some lemon, mineral a quite tight , slightly astringent acidity and mineral finish. Not overly intense but quite good length , with mineral , oyster shell , toasty , brioche finish . This is fully mature and is at peak in magnum , drink now and over the next 5 -10 years . Disgorged March 2020 — a month ago

Château Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 1990

A bretty nose… gravel and iron and sour black cherry. Some lush fruit underpinning. Intense on the palate. Perhaps too much Brett? — 3 months ago

Château Troplong Mondot

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1990

Showing brilliantly, ripe plum but elegant as well and seamless. It made the 1989 LLC seem a little clumsy in comparison. — 3 months ago

Noël Verset

Cornas Syrah 1990

Lovely aromatics of earth, smoke and redfruits, very solid core of dried red berry and super savory flavors, still great balancing acidity, a little less of the rustic notes in this one compared to the 1985 Verset from last Saturday, long, lingering finish, another great Verset Cornas!! — 6 months ago
