Community Tasting Note

Ex-Ray Likes this wine:

Saturday, November 9, 2013 - At a tasting we put on for our Couples Cru of 17 present, of eight 1990 Bordeaux (Angelus, Figeac, Beausejour Duffau, La Mission Haut-Brion, Leoville Barton, Pichon Baron, Lynch Bages, Montrose). All wines purchased on release and aged in my cellar. Typical Cazes style, still dark garnet, mostly opaque, no browning at the edges. Pronounced cassis, anise, and toasty French oak. Plenty of fruit, some sweetness, perfect balance. More open than Cazes' Pichon Baron. Very long aftertaste. This tied for second place with Angelus, behind the favorite Montrose. Drinkable now, should easily hold another 3-5 years.
