(at Vito's - Baltimore) This was pretty darn terrific. Mature, old style Pommard that has aged beautifully. When opened at 3 PM, it smelled maderdized - very glad I let it sit. By 7:30 PM, it was signing. Brick/ruby with a mature rim. Gorgeous nose of red fruit, soy, cough syrup, and mint. Lovely palate - sweet, long, earthy and mineral. A great time to drink. (95)

92 pts was a night two score, nose was oaky on night one and more reserved on night two (tho with some fruit arriving), palate was similar on each night with great high acid / tart red fruits (cherry but also strawberry - which i love) on night two, also had just a touch of those great gritty/dusty tannin texture on night two as well, great wine on night two, perhaps wait five more years?

This has classic 1990 disease... Overripe and simply stewy. Not up to the usual standards from this producer. (Squam)

Very good for the vintage, vigorous, great acidity, a little rustic. Nothing of the flabbiness of some 90's. Will still improve over a few years.

Drank very well. Lots of fruit and elegance on the palate. Would drink this wine up in the next couple of years.
