Noticeable 'legs' on the glass. Rich and forward nose of fruits, flowers, pepper and exotic spices. Really complex and enticing combination of aromas. Very 'clean' too. Multi-flavored, big and full of winyness on the palate.
Some tannins are there as well as good acidity.
Complimented exceptionally well the flavorful duck dish. Medium long, the aftertaste is as complex as the wine itself. A big wine, rich in everything. Very well balanced though not yet totally harmonized. I have no doubt this 1990 Beaucastel will reach unsurpassed heights in a few years time.
