My favorite of the lineup was easily the 1990 Chateauneuf du Pape and it has to-die-for aromatics that continue to change and evolve in the glass. Garrigue, seaweed, olive, game and ripe red and black fruits all flow to a medium to full-bodied, seamless and elegant red that has fine tannin and a sunny, graceful personality that's about as gulpable as they come. It's fully mature and I see no need to delay gratification. - Jeb Dunnuck

Thick chewy and full-bodied with juniper cedar and dried currant flavors. A muscular and focused Rhône with an intriguing flavor profile but too tough to warm up to at this young age. Everything is in balance though so it's a good bet to cellar until at least 1997. 15000 cases made.
