100 RP. "The 1990 Chambertin will probably need more time, but what is so extraordinary about this wine is the concentrated essence of Pinot Noir. There is a nectar-like, honeyed texture to this wine, which is the richest, longest wine I have ever tasted from this renowned vineyard. The nose is closed nose, yet also intense. Huge aromas of black fruits, minerals, subtle oak, and spices emerge with coaxing. The balance is impeccable, and the length is dazzling. Only 125 cases were made." Wine Advocate #83, Oct 1992 |
