Slightly tired and oxidized.

Great aromatic start, then lean, precise and very clean on palate with long, slightly angular finish.

From magnum. Big and powerful with very rich and lush aromas and flavors. I was afraid this might comes across tired, given the character of many 1989s today, but this was excellent with great textures. wine of the flight.

Magnum. Great aromatic start with mostly fresh fruit, great spice. Big and lush fruit on palate, slightly sweet, very long and regal.

Magnum. Ripe fruit and a trace of mint on nose. Fat fruit on palate, less maturity than I would expect but seemingly a bit flabby and short on acid, which seemed to shorten an otherwise exceptional performance.

Magnum. Lots of ripe apple and pear aromas. A bit more reserved to start on palate, but this was long and expanding. A bit acid-driven today, this will certainly continue to improve.

Big fruit on nose, slightly restrained on palate. More robust fruit and spice hints coming through on finish. Needed some more air or more time in cellar.

Dead.

Magnum. Big black fruit on nose and palate, along with lots of spice as well. Flavors came across more ripe than its aromas, but this was overall a very powerful 1990 (fairly common) but also incredibly balanced (much less common). Great textures and mouth feel.

Magnum. Good ripe red fruit aromas and flavors, moderate spice. Slightly simple towards finish.

Magnum. Powerful black fruit aromatics with big spicebox support. If served blind, I would have been more likely to identify this as from 1993 than from Mugnier, in that this charming wine was more brawny and dense than i typically expect, but that aside, this was sensational and a perfect example of making great wine that showcases the vintage. sensational potential, i remember trying this at La Paulee and wishing I had more time to assess this wine; well tonight i had some more time and now wish I owned some in the cellar.

Magnum. Great textures, still vibrant and exciting with a good balance of age and freshness.

Magnum. Perfumed start. Lots of black fruit, spice and power. Still very young, absolutely gorgeous.

Magnum. A controversial wine tonight. Our table thought it slightly corked, the next table also thought it flawed but not corked, while the 3rd table enjoyed it tremendously. Group think at its best.

Magnum. Bold, dark fruit aromas with background spice. Dense and slightly brooding on palate, with great flavors sneaking through from time to time. Great potential 2019-2039.

Magnum. Lovely aromatic start of red and black fruit, great spice. Much less forthcoming on the palate, with subdued fruit and a slightly bitter finish. Not providing much pleasure tonight.

Magnum. Great spice aromas with incredibly beautiful, pristine black fruit. Lots of everything on the palate with great power and length nicely supported by great structuring tannins and acidity, with everything already in harmony.

Magnum. Lots of barnyard, some lingering fruit. Nice balance, life and subtlety for its age.

Magnum. I've had this a few times over the past few years and this is a better example. Good remaining fruit balanced the earthy character. Drinking beautifully tonight.

Very disappointing. Uninteresting.

Magnum. Rich and robust dark, ripe fruit. Wonderful fresh aromas with great fruit and spice. Long life ahead, 94-95 point potential for me.

Magnum (I think?). Wow, what a great, pleasant surprise. Big black fruit with some barnyard and horse character but overall incredible charm and finesse. A personal favorite for me tonight.

Magnum. Coming in at the last minute...my Wine of the Night. Anise, red fruit, floral hints. Gorgeous layers of flavors unfold and change over time. Sensational.

Magnum. Big, modern fruit, very ripe, very engaging. Great density and length. Still has plenty left in the tank.
