Every time i drink the 90 clinet i am flabbergasted...the wine has so much complexity and length to spear. This was again memorable

Vin légendaire... tout proche de la Mouline et de Angelus! Il faut boire 1x dans sa vie.

1990. Superbe. Mature et jeune en même temps. Grande complexité! Belle rondeur et un beau fruit tout au long de la dégustation. Finale à coupé le souffle. Intense

This wine has reached its peak drinking window, and will hopefully stay there for some time. On the nose, there are elements of forest floor, red berries, cardamom and vanilla...a lovely, sweet and harmonious nose. On the attack, the wine is subtle, not overwhelming, the fine tannins are now fully integrated with the fruit, and the mid-palate shows the "coolness" of the vintage through the balanced acidity. The finish on this wine lingers for at least 45 seconds without any harshness. A great effort for an under appreciated Pomerol!
