"This is a knock out wine from start to finish. The nose, with its truffle, dark chocolate, black cherry Asian spice and hint of fig in the background tells you something good is going on here. But it is the full-bodied, opulent, sexy, ostentatious, fruit-filled, velvet-textured palate where this really rocks! Splash decanted and ready to go, I am sure that well-stored bottles can continue on this path for at least another 12-15 years. Today, this could be even better than the 1989!"
THE WINEADVOCATE:"A sensational effort, and one of the two finest Clinets made before the 2008, this prodigious wine made by the late Jean-Michel Arcaute has always been a sprinter out of the gate. Even at age 19, it continues to strut its stuff. A dense blue/garnet/purple hue exhibits slight lightening at the edge, and the gorgeous nose offers up aromas of sweet blueberries, licorice, smoke, acacia flowers, and camphor. Full-bodied with silky tannins, low acidity, and terrific purity, this 1990 has hit its plateau of full maturity where it should remain for another decade."
WINESPECTATOR:"Beautifully crafted red. Brilliant ruby color. Aromas of fresh berries, blackberries and chocolate jump from the glass. Full-bodied and chewy, but velvety and caressing. Lots of ripe fruit.--1990 Bordeaux retrospective. Best after 2002"
