  1990 Bordeaux at Fabio's: At a big 1990 Bordeaux horizontal... The bouquet comes across immediately as a bird of a different feather than the Clarets, with some caramelly-oak, confectioner’s sugar, and lots of cool menthol-minty notes. But much more Bordeaux-like to taste, dry with good acids and excellent depth without heaviness. Still some greenness which intones "Cabernet" with a light French accent. I liked this, but I am sympathetic to wines like this which can still be found for $40 twenty years on. But it can't rival the best Bordeaux for complexity. I tried the dregs on Day 2 and it was still going strong, much better on the palate.
