Tasted 3 Times After Bottling With Consistent NotesI predict that over the next 25 years the 1990 will develop into the best Ausone since the 1982 and 1983. It has a deep ruby color excellent richness an exotic kinky oriental spice component and a rich mineral-like tightly knit backward character as well as admirable concentration and length. I prefer it to the impressive 1989. It should only be purchased for your children. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2040.

Chewy monolithic wine. Aromas of dried herbs and berries. Full-bodied with velvety tannins and a tar tobacco aftertaste. Puckers your mouth with tannins. Will improve with age.--1990 Bordeaux retrospective. Best after 2005. 2150 cases made. –JS
