July 10, 2023 - At 33 years of age, this is now just coming into its own.
A medium to deep crimson, lovely bouquet of dark fruit, spice, smokiness / tobacco and mocha. Delightful and playful tannin that adds depth and complexity coming from the canbernet, earthy undertone, meaty and superbly balanced. A punchy finish adding different tones to the conversation. A wagyu fillet steak is in order with this wine!

November 29, 2021 - 醒酒一个小时，闻香有轻微酱味，青椒，山楂和李子一类的香气，入口的感觉要年轻很多，酸度漂亮，单宁紧致，颗粒细腻如粉，酒液咸鲜，胡椒一类的香料味，橡木桶的奶油香气，成熟黑果混合着红酸果，杨梅一类的果香，伴随着橡木桶带来的巧克力味，后段回甘，清晰的结构支撑下活跃的果味令人印象深刻，加上明亮的酸度和源源不断的回甘不停刺激你的味觉，让人眼前一亮，充满能量。初入口不觉浓郁，但是持续不断的输出从未间断，口充满了芬芳的香气，余味是杨梅一类活跃的果香和橡木桶的香草奶油味。一支非常特别的酒，也喝过一些赤霞珠+西拉的混酿，但这一支完全不同，它已经不是做到了1+1>2，而是整个脱胎换骨。很难把它归类，如果说香气还有一些赤霞珠的影子的话，口感就完全摆脱了既有的束缚，能感受到一种南法的不羁与解放，当我接着又喝了后面几款707和Grange之后，我更意识到，90A就是一个独特的存在，跨越30年还能鲜活如初，简直太惊艳。
