The 1990 represents a strong effort for this property. It is surprisingly dark in color, with medium body, fine structure, plenty of depth and richness, and an interesting bouquet of olives, smoky oak, and over-ripe black fruits. This wine reminds me somewhat of a lighter version of the 1979. Anticipated maturity: 1996-2008.
