Wonderful mint and black currant aromas that follow through to the palate. Full-bodied and velvety-textured, with lots of fruit and a long, long finish. Exceptional.--1990 Bordeaux retrospective. Drink now through 2010. 25,000 cases made

The 1990 La Lagune is a brilliant effort that outperforms in this vintage. Offering up a rich bouquet of blackberries, vine smoke, loamy soil and black truffle, mingled with subtle hints of cigar box, it's medium-bodied, ample and enveloping, with melting tannins, ripe acids and a long, expansive finish. This is an especially velvety, sensuous wine that's at its peak today but in no danger of imminent decline. In fact, I can't think of a better mature La Lagune in my tasting experience (which stretches back to the 1955).

92: Leider hatte ich Pech mit dem Muster, weshalb es sinnvoll gewesen wäre, den 90er direkt ab der Barrique zu degustieren, was ich dann auch im Frühling 1992 tat: Dichtes Purpur. Konzentrierte, süsse Frucht, Kaffeearomen. Softer Gaumen, bereits ausgeglichen, Ähnlichkeiten zu einem Sangiovese, leicht aufrauhend, was die Säurestruktur betrifft, Marroniaromen im Finish. 16/20 1996 – 2006<br/><br/>vorbei (1996 - 2006)
