Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Barbe Rac--Vintage 1990
Rhône. French-bottled: Chapoutier
Two damaged capsules
Tasting note: The blockbuster 1990 is just now approaching full maturity. It possesses a dense ruby/purple color as well as a gorgeous bouquet of prunes, kirsch liqueur, balsam wood, incense, and fruitcake. Full-bodied, with a viscous texture, and a long, concentrated finish exhibiting admirable purity and balance, it can be drunk now and over the next 17-18 years. 96 points.
