Friday, June 10, 2011 - Gorgeous wine. Very plummy fruit - merlot to the fore tonight, lovely cedar, fresh fennel, farmyard, and textbook blackcurrants. I would even go so far as to say a hint of lead pencil. A wonderful left bank nose. Certainly mature - but an extremely involving nose. In the mouth, medium body at most with a strong tannic structure. The cabernet drives the flavours .This wine has a great food-friendly proportion about it. This wine has moderate intensity and length. Not a heavenly wine but certainly a brilliant example of a 1990 that is ready now but will hold for another decade, at least. Most enjoyable.
