From a fabulous vintage, the 1990 is one of the greatest offerings from Clos des Papes. This was the last vintage vinified with 100% stems, and the result is a full-bodied, opulent, sweet, multidimensional, expansive Chateauneuf du Pape. It has hit its plateau of maturity, where it should rest for 10-15 years. Terrific!
Dense. Fine and sweet and herby. Fine and sweet and at its apogee. A real throat-soother, this wine. Some dryness on the finish but impressively long.
