Vintage 1990
95 points The Real Review
Exceptional vintage. Medium to full red/brick-red colour. Superbly complex bouquet, deep and youthful, bright and definite. Rich, quite dense palate. Very good intensity and flavour depth. Fine but evident tannins. Long, long carry. Impressive wine still on the ascendant.
