Fully mature, the 1990 Bon Pasteur offers up aromas of mocha, caramel, spice box, ripe plums, and hints of figs as well as black cherries. Soft, creamy, expansive, sexy, and fleshy, it should hold at this plateau for another 5-10 years. Release price: ($300.00/case)

Smoky, tangy, black cherry aromas. Opulent but quite soft; palate-caressing fruit initially seems directionless and lacking in shape, but showed much more structure with extended aeration. Quite stylish.
About the producer
Famed winemaking consultant Michel Rolland is synonymous with this estate. The vines here were purchased by his grandparents and he ran the property from 1979. Although Rolland still makes the wine today, he sold the estate in 2013.
