7/6/2010 - Jeremy Holmes wrote: NRDecidedly old school and a little agricultural with initial whiffs of tar, smoked meats, cedar and polished boot leather. It is very savoury and a tad hard at first but with the benefit of a little air some sweeter notes of raisin and raspberry come to the fore. A wine of good flavour and character that is still quite fresh and vibrant. |

12/29/2010 - beatles wrote: 83 pointsI really do not know what is going on with this wine. Tasted it a year ago, and it was similar - I was suspecting the quality of my shipment and/or the local importer (as the cellar has a long track record of flawlessness), but the bottle seems absolutely flawless, cork etc. top shape. Color is nice, maturing, but the nose and the taste is off putting, seems oxidized, very plumby and raisiny, slightly alcoholic - just over the hill. Maybe the wine is like that, maybe it is just my bottles - this is no 3. of six. Not undrinkable, but very far from being my style. |

Great fruit, with the beautiful earthiness of CDP, all wrapped with wonderfully smooth tannins. This one will be very exciting to taste throughout the next decade. I won't forget this wine. |

12/18/2010 - airbull76 wrote: 86 pointsI agree with Zinny, there is a big shot of oak here, which to my mi9nd unbalances it. The fruit is not rich enough to be able to stand up to this, and overall it was pretty disappointing. Thyere's no realintegration, and I can't be sure that more bottle time will help, as I don't think there's enough fruit. |

11/25/2010 - RISM wrote: 85 pointsDeep brick colour, nose of red fruit - raspberries, redcurrant - and spice (hint of cloves). Fruity full palate with luscious sweetness, none of the bitter aftertaste of some of the 98 CNP's I've tasted recently. Drinking well now, but won't improve. |

12/2/2010 - ebrown35 wrote: 87 pointsPopped and poured. Dark color, stewed figs, brown spice bit of oak at first. The palate is a bit more focused and lithe than the nose would suggest with decent acidity, and some minerality on the finish. but still lacking the freshness of better '99s. Drink up. |

11/19/2010 - ctjared wrote: NRrmodak was right about the straining. Its high in sediment and comes out very cloudy even if its been on its side for months. Reminds me of the 89 Jaboulet Crozes hermitage, very raisiny, which is not really my first choice. It is balanced though and has a long finish. |

11/10/2010 - Zinny wrote: NRThis wine is showing a lot more wood than I expected. I'm not really sure what's going on with this bottle but I would have to disagree with RP's 92 and call this a quite mediocre effort. Mouthfeel is good, fruit is ok, finish is medium, tannins are medium-soft. I get a lot of ripe, dark fruit, some vegetal notes and a pretty distracting shot of oak. |

11/6/2010 - le fouloir wrote: 92 pointsThis CdP still reflects the 1990 vintage well. I opened the bottle, decanted it, and poured it as we sat down to dinner. It opened up immediately, and displayed many of the classic CdP characteristics both in the bouquet and the taste throughout our dinner - the barnyard (in a good way) , tar, and ripe cherries. Unlike some of the other reviewers, the wine sustained its positive characteristics until it was gone (granted, it only lasted for an hour!). I have a few bottles left and am not in a hurry to finish them -- maybe, I'll drink one a year and will finish my inventory by 2014. |

10/30/2010 - thebonnydooner wrote: 90 pointsI really liked this. There was a really good balance of sweet (but not jammy fruit), good acidity and nice complexity. Notes of garrigue, fig and hoisin sauce provided a layer over the raspberry and black cherry fruit. Drinking well now, but obviously has the stuffing to go quite a while longer. |

Nice fruit and a good, slightly dry feel to the middle and finish. A little pinched in the middle but this does sweeten up and round out with air. ***1/2 |
