(01-1998) The sweet 1990 exhibits sur-maturite (over-ripeness). It offers up a weedy, tobacco, jammy, cassis-scented nose intertwined with aromas of licorice and earth. Dense, with a late harvest-like ripeness in the mouth, this full-bodied, low acid, huge, chewy, fleshy wine is already too tasty to resist.
