  M&M lunch at Summer Pavilion. Tasted blind. Drank in Gabriel Standart.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, amber gold colour. Legs.
  Nose medum intnesity, with aromas of aged tea leaves, jasmine tea. Devleoped.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13.5%), meidum body. Medium flavour intensity, jasmine tea leaves, some remaining citrus flavour. Medium finish.
  Still alive, but not enough vivacity for my tastes. I will say drink up. Not my cup of tea.

  These were once glorious wines but sadly most of them are now over the hill just like this bottle. Maybe if you find some good specimen in a cold cellar in France it will be different.

  From a nice looking bottle with a 2 cm fill, this wine had a light gold color with clear rims. The medium intensity nose displayed ripe peach, citrus, honey, and white soil.
  
  This was a touch reduced at first and a bit over-ripe. However, after 5 hours of air it was just very ripe with firm acidity hiding under substantial ripe fruit. It had a substantial mouthful with good, but subtle, length.
  
  This bottle appeared to be a touch past it peak. Thus, I would suggest drinking ASAP.

  10/19/2016 - Alex G. Likes this wine:

  Rousseau '92 and '94 Dinner (Scottsdale, AZ): Dark color but fruit is abundant. Viscous wine but finsh on the shorter side. Good not great.

  Dinner at Ming San's (Ming San's): Older Ampeau bottlings have always had a bit of variability to them, and this one of the weaker bottles of the 1990 Les Perrieres that I have had over the years. The nose actually smelt off - a mix of oxidised and maderised aromas. Strangely enough though, the palate seemed to be rather unaffected. It still had a lovely depth and texture, with plenty of warmth and generosity in its appley flavours shading into sweeter yellow fruit tones, all this layered with golden honey on the midpalate and then a nice stream of minerality in a strong finish. Very nice in fact, but I just could not get away from the nose, or from the lingering suspicion that there was something not quite right about the wine.
