Friday, June 25, 2010 - Bordeaux 1990 - 20 years later (Martins office): Dark red color, still with a reddish hue. Very pure nose with fresh and elegant blackcurrant fruit and pencil shavings. Extremely refined. Bringing the same cool, pure blackcurrant fruit on the palate along with notes of blackcurrant leaves and stalks and pencil shavings. On the mid palate and finish it grows in complexity adding black cherries, tobacco, prunes and cigar box to the mix. The sweetness and juiciness of the fruit it of great pleasure, but it does not lose its intellectual side, having an underlying mineral and iron streak. Amazing length, laser-like purity and extraordinarily delicious.
