Tasting notes
Although not a blockbuster, the 1990 is a light to medium-bodied, elegant Graves, with a fragrant, earthy, berry and mineral-scented nose, as well as ripe flavors. Exceptionally easy to drink, it exhibits soft tannins, good depth, and an overall sense of finesse and balance. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.
