Details
Châteaueuf-du-Pape--Vintage 1990
Rhône, Beaucastel
Both lots in original wooden cases
Parcel: lots 407-408
"Many bottles of 1990 Ducru-Beaucaillou have exhibited a damp, musty, cardboard component in the nose that obliterated the wine's fruit. The color was a healthy deep ruby/purple, and the wine possessed moderate weight and length, but, as I have written in the past, too many bottles seem musty, giving the impression of being corked. Interestingly, a bottle served at a friend's house on New Year's Day was unquestionably a 90-point wine, exhibiting no off aromas. Last tasted 11/96. Fortunately, this was the last year for the musty problem in Ducru's wines." Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition (1998)
