Community Tasting Note

Ex-Ray Likes this wine:

Sunday, January 5, 2020 - At a tasting we put on for our Couples Cru of 13 present, of seven 1990 Bordeaux (Angelus, Figeac, Beausejour Duffau, La Mission Haut-Brion, Pichon Baron, Lynch Bages, Montrose). All wines purchased on release and aged in my cellar. Last tasted 2013. Outstanding! Dark garnet-purple, still completely opaque, the darkest of the group. Deep rich smoky cassis notes, opened slowly. Very concentrated fruit, mild tannin in the background…it opened slowly but was wonderful two hours later. Very enjoyable now, would not guess it's 30 years old...seems much younger. This was second favorite, behind Pichon Baron. Remaining wine gassed until the next night, still outstanding.
