| Tasting Note： |
Wine Advocate #85 (2/1993) Rating：84 Drink：1993-2001
The 1990 offers soft, spicy, cedary, lead pencil-scented fruit that is followed by a medium-bodied, spicy wine with good character, depth, and light tannins in the short finish. It should drink nicely for 7-8 years.
Cellar tracker ( 1/3/2007) Rated 90 points
Fully mature (though this bottle may not have been stored perfectly) light to medium bodied claret, a lovely bright mineral core but the acidity becoming a little forthright.
