1990 Clos de la Roche Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru Ponsot, Burgund

Allen Meadows' Burghound: A beautifully comple nose of secondary fruit, game, smoke, earth and plenty of spice nuances leads to big, rich, round and solidly powerful full-bodied flavors that deliver seriously good length on the mouth coating, velvety, balanced and hugely long finish. There is still some unresolved structure though in my view this has arrived at its peak; that said, this should enjoy an extraordinarily long window of peak drinkability. A great example of the vintage. Multiple and consistent notes save for the most recent bottle that displayed a touch of brett that was subtle but enough to remark upon. - Allen Meadows, Apr. 2018
