Lot #285. Les Cailloux Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Centenaire 1990

Description: Consists of 2 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 100 RP.
"One of the greatest vintages for Andre Brunel, aside from his extraordinary succession of vintages from 1998-2001 is 1990. The perfect Cuvee Centenaire is still dense ruby/purple-colored with a sumptuous nose of white flowers, raspberry and cherry liqueur, smoke, and mineral scents. The gorgeous aromatics are followed by an unctuously-textured, pure wine that combines the best of Chateauneuf du Pape with the floral, earthy complexity of a great grand cru red Burgundy. This is a riveting tour de force in winemaking. Don’t miss it." eRobertParker.com, Jan 2003
Provenance: The Gloire Cellar
Notes: 2.5cm, lightly scuffed, lightly bin soiled, 1 lightly damp stained, 1 lightly marked labels.
