1990 Altesino Brunello (750ml)

$150.00

Robert Parker 90
Altesino's two sensational 1990 Brunellos, the Brunello di Montalcino and the Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli, offer intense perfumes of jammy cherry fruit, tobacco, smoke, herbs, and licorice, immense richness and extraction of flavor, full body, and gobs of glycerin and alcohol. The single vineyard Montosoli possesses a thicker, richer texture, more depth and length, and a slightly more focused personality. Both can be drunk today, but promise to evolve for 10-20 years.

The 1990 Riserva exhibits a broodingly deep garnet/plum color, sweet aromas of tobacco, chocolate, herbs, and dried cherries, full body, outstanding depth, and an impressive, yet tannic finish. Give it 5/6 years of cellaring.

As good now as when we tasted this Tuscan powerhouse in barrel. Loads of fruit with a jammy character and a hint of vanilla. Full-bodied and tannic, but very closed. Built for aging; try after 1998.

Wine Spectator 95
A sense of opulence marks this highly concentrated, creamy-textured '90 Champagne, with its ripe, generous fruit flavors complementing the toasty, honeyed nuances acquired from aging on the lees. Lingering finish.
Robert Parker 91
"Gold-tinged color. Deep, maturing aromas of toffee, butterscotch, ginger and molasses. Fat and rich in the mouth, with ecellent intensity; in the mature Bollinger style but far more successful than the bottling from the lower-acid 1989 vintage. Thick with extract, and palate-staining on the aftertaste. A main-course Champagne."
Neil Martin, Wine Journal, eRobert Parker 94
Served at lunch, this ¿90 Bolly is showing beautifully at present. A delightful, crisp nose of brioche, apple-blossom, a hint of nougat, praline and cashew nuts all with wonderful definition and vibrancy. The palate is showing very good fruit concentration, very smooth and slightly honeyed in texture, it almost had me guessing that it was another VVF having just tasted the ¿92. Great mineralité towards the finish, elegant and beautifully poised with that praline notes coming back on the aftertaste. All you could wish for in a ¿90 champagne. Drink now-2015+. Tasted October 2008.

Phenomenal bouquet. Asian spices, roses, citrus blossom and fresh chanterelle segue into apple, bread and grilled nuts. Very fresh, harmonious and minerally, with a seamless texture and an aftertaste of ginger. Plenty of life ahead.
Robert Parker 95
The exceptional 1990 Champagne NPU (disgorged July 2002) was fermented and aged for 10 months in barrel, then remained in bottle on its lees for over 10 years before being disgorged. Its intricate nose displays rich, vinous aromas of hazelnuts, toast, and pears. This 50/50 blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir is medium-bodied, silky-textured, full-flavored, and complex. Its flavor profile, composed of fresh toasted white fruits, seamlessly lingers throughout this wine¿s character and stretches well into its prolonged finish (where a sweet note of lime makes an appearance). Drink this great Champagne over the next 5-6 years.

Robert Parker 92
"Both the 1989 and 1990 wines were consistent with past tastings. The 1990 is a deeper wine, with a saturated ruby/purple color exhibiting no amber. The wine offers up copious aromas of grilled meat, blackcurrants, cedar, and sweet oaky scents. Full-bodied, with moderate tannin, immense concentration, thickness, and richness, this low acid yet structured wine should reach full maturity by the end of the century, and drink well for 10-15 years."
Wine Spectator 95
"Combines power and elegance, showing the rich structure of a long-aging wine, yet the complexity is already elegant, with ripe fruit, cedar, licorice, violet, plum and mineral aromas and flavors. Best after 2000. Tasted twice, with consistent notes."

Big and thick, this powerhouse of a wine packs in a lot of flavors: plum, blackberry, earth and cedar. Impressive, seamless, with a silky texture and supple tannins. Tempting now, but better after 2000. Big and voluptous Brunello. Aromas of plums, berries and wet earth, following through to a full body with velvety tannins and a sumptuous finish.

"The wine offers a saturated, dark purple color, and a rich, spicy, oaky nose backed up by generous quantities of jammy blackcurrants. Ripe, highly extracted, and full-bodied, with copious amounts of sweet tannin and layers of fruit, this is a knock-out, flamboyantly-styled Cabernet for drinking over the next 15 or more years."
Wine Spectator 93
"Aging extremely well, this is rich, sleek and elegant, with a wide range of black cherry, anise, currant, plum and earth notes that offer depth and complexity, finishing in a long aftertaste." Tasting note from the February 28, 2001 issue of the WS.

The grapes for Chateau de Meursault,Clos des Epenots come from a 3 hectaire vineyard with some of the vines ranging in age from 32-62 years of age. This is a deepbly concentrated, structured Pommard now at full maturity from a splendid long-lived vintage.

1990 Cheval Blanc (750ml)

$1,495.00

Robert Parker 100
In contrast to the 1989, the 1990 is increasingly sumptuous with each additional tasting. The wine possesses all the hallmarks of a hot, ripe year - low acidity, super-ripe, nearly over-ripe fruit, an opulent, oily texture, great sweetness of fruit, and a long, voluptuously-textured finish. In the most recent tasting, I almost mistook it for Le Pin given its showboat-like nose of coconut, toasty new oak, and gobs of smoky, blackcurranty, and cherry fruit. The wine is full-bodied, rich, and concentrated, with layers of extract, and well-concealed tannin. I am increasingly convinced that this is the most profound Cheval Blanc since the legendary 1982. Because of its fleshy, low-acid character, the wine can be drunk, but it is still youthful, with a deeper purple color than the more mature-looking 1989. It should offer exotic opulence for at least another 15-20 years. A compelling Cheval Blanc!
Clive Coates
Rich, cedary, ripe, concentrated and full-bodied, with excellent tannins and grip..Very high class indeed. Marvellous long, complex, aristocratic finish.
Wine Spectator 92
All in finesse. Dark ruby-garnet color. Exciting aromas of crushed fruit, coffee and cedar. Full-bodied, with very polished tannins and a long, caressing finish. Why wait? Drink now.

1990 Col D'Orcia Brunello di Montalcino (750ml)

Robert Parker 95
This super-concentated wine possesses a roasted herb, sweet, jammy, black fruit-scented nose, with noteworthy opulence and succulence. Pure and full bodied, this concentrated wine conceals more tannin than it is presently revealing. The wine is open, flattering, and impossible to resist.
Wine Spectator 94
This wine grows on you. It is massive, dry and austere, with a slight, stalky green bean accent to the currant and cherry flavors. The finish is quite tannic and chewy, yet an impressive amount of fruit pours through. The lasting impression is of enormous depth and complexity, but it will take time for the tannins to tone down.
Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 92
Good full medium ruby. Perfumed aromas of cassis, redcurrant, plum, minerals, coconut and violet. Lush, dense and gentle; rich and chocolatey. With so much baby fat, this wine appears to miss out on ultimate clarity and grip. But finishes tight, with a touch of austerity and nicely restrained sweetness. Still quite young. Drink 2005 through 2020.

"Dark, ripe, rich and concentrated, with a tight focus on the core of blackberry jam, plum and black cherry flavors. Holds its firm focus on a long, intense finish. Has the intensity to last another decade." Review 02/28/2001
Robert Parker 93
"The 1990 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate (88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot) reveals an astonishingly deep color, as well as a huge aroma of smoky cassis, chocolate, and licorice. In the mouth, it is a powerful wine, with great stuffing, wonderful structure, enough acid and tannin to frame the wine's immense size, and a formidable finish. I was told the yields were a minuscule 2 tons per acre. While it should not be drunk before the mid to late nineties, it has the potential to easily last for 20 years."

One of Bordeaux's most schizophrenic properties, as disappointing as Figeac's 1989 has turned out, the 1990 is fabulous. This property has not made a wine as rich as the 1990 since 1982. In contrast to the 1989, the 1990 is a great Figeac, potentially a richer, more complete and complex wine than the 1982. The 1990 exhibits a saturated dark purple color (somewhat atypical for Figeac), and a gorgeous nose of olives, fruitcake, jammy black fruits, minerals, and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, with gobs of glycerin-imbued, sweet, jammy fruit, this wine is nicely buttressed by moderate tannin and adequate acidity. Fleshy and rich, as well as elegant and complex, it is approachable because of the wine's sweet fruit, but it promises even more pleasure with 2-4 more years of bottle age; it will last for 20 years. I predict the 1990 Figeac will have one of the most exotic and compelling aromatic profiles of the 1990s. It is a terrific wine!

Bold, ripe and powerful, with a solid, rich core of mineral, currant, plum and cedar flavors that are remarkably complex, smooth and polished, with fine but firm tannins. Elegant, refined and tasty to drink now, but sure to age.
Wine News 94
Deep crimson robe. Delicate nose of apricot, light stone and flinty aromas with a hint of pepper. A well-constructed wine with mineral, orange peel, cassis and a backing of oak tannins. A powerful finish defined by tart cherry, mint and oak.

Robert Parker 96
"This chateau has been turning out such spectacular wines that it is not surprising it was elevated in the recent reclassification of St.-Emilion. Any Bordeaux lover would be thrilled to have either of the 1989 or 1990 in his or her cellar. Both wines reveal an opaque purple color, with the 1990 slightly more inky. Both wines are also exceptionally endowed, backward, rich, full-bodied, and crammed with fruit. The 1990 is softer than the 1989 (because of the vintage's greater ripeness), as well as lower in acidity, giving it a marginally more forward and flattering set of aromatics and flavors. However, the impression is one of a big, beefy, thick,super-rich wine offering that tell-tale L'Angelus nose of smoky vanillin oak, olives, jammy cassis, and spice. Picking a favorite between these two fabulous examples of their respective vintages is - for me - presently impossible. I will probably end up drinking the 1990 before the 1989, but both wines are 25-30-year wines, with the 1989 possibly reaching full maturity in 5-6 years, and the 1990 needing several more years of cellaring."

"..one of the great modern day l'Evangiles..the wine is exceptionally rich and full bodied, with admirable glycerin and thickness. The finish is full of sweet fruit, with wine's extact concealing moderate tannin. The 1990 is a fabulously pure rich l'Evangile to drink between the turn of the century and 2020."

1990 La Conseillante is about as seductive a wine as readers will ever encounter. It admirably demonstrates why Pomerols are often called the Burgundies of Bordeaux.

Robert Parker 90
Like so many 1990s, this wine appears to have put on more weight and added a dimension or two to its personality. The color is dense ruby, with no lightening at the edge. The sweet nose of grilled nuts, smoked herbs, sweet, lavishly ripe black currant fruit, and chocolate is followed by a gutsy, medium-bodied wine that is about as fleshy as La Lagune can be. While the wine does not have the intensity, fat, and power of the 1982 (the greatest La Lagune I have ever tasted), it is a gorgeously proportioned, velvety-textured, sweet and expansive wine that is already drinking well. Anticipated maturity: Now-2010.

With time, the 1990 should prove to be the finest Bon Pasteur since the glorious 1982. The intense opaque color is impressive. Even more so is the huge nose of super-ripe black cherry fruit, mocha, tobacco, and toasty new oak. It is deep and intense, with medium to full body, excellent depth, a sweet, expansive texture, fine overall balance, and more structure and tannin than the 1989. Very impressive!

Robert Parker 92
still believe the 1990 to be an exceptional Leoville-Barton, certainly the best wine made after the 1982, and marginally superior to both the delicious 1985 and tannic 1986. However, it needs another 7-10 years of cellaring. In its youth, it is one of the least approachable 1990s. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2025.
Wine Spectator 93
Dark ruby color with a red edge. Subtle aromas of black cherry and plum, with hints of mineral and smoke. Full-bodied, with a compacted fruit structure, firm tannins and a long finish. As outstanding as it should be.

Robert Parker 97
I have drunk many bottles of this wine in many different locations (Cayman Islands, Shanghai, Bordeaux, Paris, and London), including bottles from my own cellar, and I continue to be amazed by how remarkably consistent it is. One of my favorite Lynch Bages, the 1990 is a more forward, fleshier, and sexier version of the brilliant 1989, and represents a poster bottle of what Lynch Bages is all about. A dense ruby/purple color is followed by a sumptuously sweet bouquet of roasted meats, herbs, sweet creme de cassis fruit, a massive level of glycerin, and silky ripe tannins. It is a hedonistic as well as intellectual turn-on. There is not a hard edge to be found in this delicious 1990, which should last for another 15-20 years in a cold cellar. I would rank the 1990 and 1989 as the two greatest Lynch Bages made in the last 30 years. Release price: ($350.00/case)
Wine Spectator 95
"Very dark ruby color, almost black. Superripe fruit aroma, with notes of currants, prunes and spices. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins."
Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 93
"Full medium ruby. Aromatic, vibrant aromas of blackcurrant, bitter chocolate and shoe polish. Chewy, sweet, dense and deep, with the wine strong minerality contributing to the impression of aromatic lift in the mouth. The classiest of these vintages of Lynch-Bages. Finishes with ripe tannins and impressive length. Drink now through 2020."
Neil Martin, Wine Journal, eRobert Parker 97
Ex-cellar bottle tasted blind at the Lynch Bages vertical. A supremely well-defined nose with notes of macerated black cherries, cedar, dates, wild strawberry and pencil lead. Very opulent, almost voluptuous and yet still somehow, statesmanlike and regal. The palate is medium-bodied, powerful, firm think chewy tannins, touches of liquorice, very sweet and heady. Lovely wine, though not the breeding of the 1989 although a double magnum poured after the tasting is simply stunning in terms of its precocious fruit, its brashness and joie-de-vivre. Just a touch of volatility but utterly delicious and a double magnum was even more enthralling (98) Drink now-2025+ Tasted September 2009.

1990 Marcoux Chateauneuf du Pape Vielles Vignes (750ml)

Robert Parker 96
The 1990 has been a consistently perfect wine for much of its life. However, it appears to have turned the corner and lost some of its most profound aspects. It is still an immortal Chateauneuf du Pape, with a dense ruby/purple color in addition to a gorgeous nose of licorice, white flowers, blueberries, and blackberries. The wine is heady, with high alcohol, an unctuous texture, and an extraordinary ripe, concentrated finish. However, some bottles tasted seem far older than others. I don't know whether it is a bottle variation problem or a question of improper storage. Nevertheless, pristine bottles remain candidates for perfection. Catherine and Sophie Armenier continue to fashion one of France's greatest wines. There are 750 cases produced from 80% Grenache, 10% Mourvedre, and 10% miscellaneous varietals.

"The 1990 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate was reviewed in issue #95 from tastings done before its release. Tasted twice from purchased bottles, it is a backward, but splendidly concentrated, broad, expansively-flavored, full-bodied Cabernet with a high level of tannin. Its stunning display of highly extracted, blackcurrant fruit judiciously wrapped in toasty oak is impressive. It is a 20-30 year wine."
Wine Spectator 95
"Dark, ripe, rich and intense, this is a powerful young wine that packs in tiers of currant, black cherry, plum and cedary oak flavors and shows tremendous tannic strength."
