Rhône Valley - Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Ratings

R. Parker - Wine Advocate - 96/100
"The blockbuster 1990 is just now approaching full maturity. It possesses a dense ruby/purple color as well as a gorgeous bouquet of prunes, kirsch liqueur, balsam wood, incense, and fruitcake. Full-bodied, with a viscous texture, and a long, concentrated finish exhibiting admirable purity and balance, it can be drunk now and over the next 17-18 years."

Vinous - 95/100
