Château Magdelaine--Vintage 1990
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé. Château-bottled
A sample bottle will be available at the pre-sale tasting
Tasting note: The 1990 Magdelaine is among the most sumptuous examples of this estate's wine. The nose reveals interesting herb, berry, mineral, and vanillin scents. Copious, even lavish quantities of sweet tobacco, coffee, and orange tea-like flavors can be found in this super-ripe Merlot-based wine. The acidity is adequate and the moderate tannins are firm. Magdelaine represents a different expression of St.-Emilion that tasters often find too austere. The opulent, even decadent 1990 is an exception. Anticipated maturity: Now-2008. Last tasted 3/96. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition (1998)
