It’s holding up quite well for just a village. Quite delicious with medium nose and fruit on palate. No tannins. Should still last for a few more years.

Bourgogne and Village Dinner (Tonny Restaurant, Geylang Lor 3, Singapore): As typical with Lafarge, this was a classy but rather subtle and reserved wine, especially for a warm vintage like 1990. It had a quietly attractive nose, with little drifts of earth, rubber and bramble, along with some subtle violet aromas curled round a core of dark cherries, The palate had a really depth for a village, with nice velvety tannins and a beautiful sense of delineated balance running through its flavours of black cherries along with a hint of spice and bramble. Not a wine that shouts - this was a noble, slightly more reserved expression, but really good for village at its age. While drinking nicely now, this has the chops to go on in the bottle for a long, long time yet.

Showing it's age a little but still has life. As good as it's going to get. Drink up.
