Community Tasting Note

Monday, August 24, 2020 - Bordeaux 1990 horizontal tasting (Fribourg): 1990 Bordeaux horizontal hosted by a private collector. 30 years down the road, the vintage comes across as bold and muscular, youthful and in general not yet open for business or at times closed. Highlights included Figeac, Haut-Brion, Mouton, Calon Ségur – and to my surprise – Marquis de Terme. See tasting story for more take-aways and the complete line-up.

Tasting note
Detailed and delicate nose of dried herbs, a bit of tobacco, espresso, ripe almost jammy fruit. The refined texture imposes lots of character and personality carrying great depth and concentration. By far not ready yet, but one of the strongest presentation in the line-up and beating younger top vintages such as 2009, 2010 and 2016 (not the stellar 2018, however).
