Estimate
...rich, lush, almost opulent flavors that melt in the mouth and coat the palate with a layer of velvet on the fantastically long finish. This is a dramatic wine in every sense of the word...
..nose offers up sweet, clove, cinnamon & blackberry aromas intermingled with toasty, smoky new oak. Lavishly rich and full-bodied, with abundant tannins,this profound, surprisingly large-scaled, tannic wine boasts more muscle than usual.
Another wine with extraordinary aromatic presence, the 1990 Romanée-Conti is just beginning to enter the peak of its maturity and also quite feminine in its personality...constantly changes in the glass, inviting a second taste...
Very lively. Neat and almost dauntingly well-etched and defined at present.
Densely packed, with earthy, tarry and spicy overtones running through the powerful plum, currant and berry flavors...
