The 1990 and the 1989 have long provided a fascinating comparison, with the former being just a touch riper and the latter a bit more energetic. At 30 years of age, the differences, though less dramatic, remain. The 1990, still straw yellow in colour, exhibits fresh, rather than dried, fruit notes, though nutty nuances appear in the finish. Its complexity is staggering. This refined wine remains balanced and fresh with a vibrancy that belies its three decades of age.
