Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, January 1998
The 1990, with its lead pencil and cassis-scented nose, is firm and unevolved, but there appears to be more on the palate and the finish is longer. There is a strong weedy, cassis, Cabernet character to the wine, as well as a sense of elegance, balance, rich extract, and tannin. Anticipated maturity: Now-2007. Last tasted 1/96

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, January 1992
As with other Rothschild wines, I prefer the 1990 to the 1989. The 1990 is firmer and less evolved, but there appears to be more on the palate and the finish is longer. There is a strong weedy, cassis, Cabernet character to the wine, as well as a sense of elegance, balance, rich extract, and tannin. Anticipated maturity: 1997-2007.

Gorgeous, firm wine. Good dark ruby color. Lovely berry, cherry, currant aromas. Full-bodied, with firm, well-integrated tannins and a long finish. Needs time.--1990 Bordeaux retrospective. Best after 2005. 13,000 cases made. –JS
