This was from a magnum with a lower level than hoped and too much sediment. having said that though for many it woudl have been too musty the actual fruit was sweet enough and in evidence to make it enjoyable. With some imagination!

Haven't had a 1990 Burgundy lately and this is a nice reminder how lovely they are. Ripe red cherry fruit, lots of mineral, Beaune earth/mushroom notes. I think I've only had Latour's vignes franches once in the past and this is much better than my memory of that.

Ruby without bricking. Mature Burgundy aromas of wild mushroom, earth and faint sour cherry and orange peel. No significant fading of flavor or finish. A nice showing.

(dinner @ meadowood) Aromatically - dingy upon opening with faint stinkbug but within an hour it opened to reveal a more floral dominated aroma profile. Medium density really nice mouth feel and not showing to much age. Drink soon. 87
