Chateau Le Bon Pasteur 1990

The Wine Advocate: "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."

The Wine Cellar Insider: "Juicy plums, cocoa, earth, tobacco and spice aromas open the wine. This supple, round, sweet, black cherry, fennel and chocolate flavored wine at 21 years of age is fully mature. Consumers should drink this sooner than later because it's not going to get better and based on previous bottles that were a little richer, this Pomerol will probably slowly begin losing fruit."

Wine Spectator: "Still closed, but definitely outstanding. Ruby-red color. Lots of plum and tobacco character in this medium-bodied, silky wine with similar character to the aftertaste.--1990 Bordeaux retrospective. Drink now. 3,500 cases made."
