  This is a wine of place. Fantastic bouquet. Earthy, singed, loaded with black cherries, sous bois, eucalyptus, dried mint, and licorice. Savory, full bodied, resolved, excellent verve and structure, and lovely bottle age complexity. Long and sapid finish. Wonderful.

  48x 1990 (37x Bdx, 6x Napa, 5x others): Six Napa wines were added to this Bdx tasting. 1990 was not an overly exciting vintage in Napa Valley, clearly overshadowed by the 91/92/94 vintages. Almost all of the wines are past peak with not enough fruit left. In addition the vintages misses a bit of charm and creaminess and remains rather on the astringent side of things. The only star was the Heitz Martha’s Vineyard (94 pts) which showed complex, savoury, balanced and creamy with that typical Martha’s mint kick. Opus (92 pts) and Heitz Bella Oaks (91 pts) were still ok, while the La Jota Howell Mt (86 pts) and Simi Reserve (87 pts) and Latour Beaulieu Reserve (dead) were past peak.
  
  TN: Oxidative nose. Dead.

  Musty aroma. Never blew off completely.
