  What a nice bottle. Hi-toned, foresty bouquet of cherries, leather, and a hint of cinnamon bark. Mid-to-full bodied, ample fruit, very fresh and earthy. Lots of finesse and plenty of bottle age. All buoyed by a streak of minerality in the background. Shows a youthful edge on the red fruit and earth driven finish. Long aftertaste. I'm impressed.

  Chateau de Cruzeau, Pessac-Leognan, 1990, 12,5% Vol.
  
  Über zwei Tage genossen an beiden Tagen perfekt!
  Nase: Kann nicht 100% riechen, da minimal Schnupfen. Schöne Nase ohne Brett. Erinnert ein bisschen an Milchkaffee.
  Geschmack: Sehr lecker, delikat. Auf dem Höhepunkt. Der typische 1990er Charme mischt sich mit dem klassischen Charakter des Pessac.
  Tabak, sehr schöne, dunkle Früchte (Pflaume), sanfte Terroirwürze, sehr ausgeglichen, balanciert, charmant, Finesse, sehr gute Frucht. Seidig. Perfekte Balance aus Würze und Frucht.
  Kaum vorhandene, gut eingebundene Säure.
  
  Ein toller 1990er für kleines Geld. Bei Jochen Daams für ca. 10-15€ gekaufte Flasche.
  
  90-91 Punkte, weil er unendlich delikat war un schöne Frucht hatte.
  Bis ca. 2018 zu trinken. Höhepunkt: Bis 2016.

  Anita: Beaut. ruby red w/black hues and med color fade, briliant, lovely color. Complex notes of pine, sous bois, coffee grounds, old cherry, hint cranberry, cin.-spice mixed in, some earth and leather; med. soft t’s and bal, well int, med. soft fin, complex,aged just right. Not a high score by itself, but almost PERFECT w/coffee rubbed roast beef! 2nd night w/gravy was astoundingly good, and earthy flavors melded perfectly w/the wine. What fun, this was perfectly aged, and even better b/c the cork pushed thru at opening and I thot almost for sure that it would be dead. Very lively, grt. tertiary flavors, and had a year or two left in it even.

  Still solid for a lesser 1990. Medium body, smooth flavor. Great drinking wine.

  Still drinking pretty well. Nothing out of the ordinary, but floral bouquet, good mid-palate and solid finish. Definitely as legs past the 2005 end date from the community, but I would knock it back by 2007.
