1990 Château Rauzan-Gassies

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Sunday, March 8, 2020 - High ullage, cork in excellent condition .
Deep red colour with some bricking.
Very clean nose, nothing musty, tobacco, cedar, highly aromatic, maybe just a little mushroom.
Soft on the palate, still vigorous, stewed fruit, fresh orangey notes with walnuts and more tobacco, some tannin lurking here.
On the way down but only just. Lots of pleasure here and not just to lovers of old wines like me.
The longer this stays open the more the fruit comes out, maraschino cherry and earthy spicy notes. Doesn’t fall apart in the glass at all.
