The 1990 Clos Vougeot from Domaine Méo-Camuzet is really a fresh and vibrant example of this ripe vintage and the wine is drinking quite nicely, though not with quite the same precision and length as found in the outstanding 1991 version. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a blend of cherries, a touch of red currant, gamebird, forest floor, chocolate and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is fullish, complex and quite velvety in texture, with a good core, fine complexity and good, but not great length on the meltingly tannic finish. This is a very pretty 1990 Clos Vougeot, but it is also the weakest of the very, very strong set of wines between 1988 and 1991! (Drink between 2016-2035)
