1990 Newton Claret

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Saturday, January 5, 2019 - Winebar [4 Whites, 8 Reds, & 7 *shared* Reds] from 01/04/19 (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): Danny, THANK for sharing this SUPERB wine! :)

Had been decanted for ~ 2 hrs before I tasted it

64% Merlot, 33% C.F., & 3% C.S.

N: Earth, almost a funkiness, which blows to RIPE berries with a BUNCH of unparsables; Intensity lurking

P: Med body; RNDISH entry with ALMOST swtish frt met by a bit of puckerish astringency which seamlessly evolves into quite a LONG finish with a tangy, bitter/SWTNESS to the dusty tannins. QUITE a PROFOUND wine which should EASILY make its 35th, poss 40th, & would be even BETTER with food! 12.5% ABV; My EXC+/Exceptional-.
