Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Célestins--Vintage 1990
Rhône. Henri Bonneau
In original carton, original tissues
Tasting note: One of the greatest wines ever produced ... anywhere ... is the 1990. Having consistently merited 100 points (if my scoring system went higher, it would be there), it continues to perform like a young wine, yet is accessible enough to be appreciated for its extraordinary combination of power, complexity, and majestic layers of flavor. The colour is a dark plum/ruby to the edge. The monumental bouquet offers up aromas of liquified charcoaled beef intermixed with pepper, smoke, crême de cassis, kirsch liqueur, truffles, and new saddle leather. This full-bodied, viscous, prodigious Châteauneuf-du- Pape must be tasted to be believed. It is more like a food than a beverage. Anticipated maturity: now-2030. Robert Parker Jan 2003
