Tasting notes
Nearly all my tastings of young vintages of Nairac suggest that the wine is too oaky, as the toasty, vanillin aromas tend to obliterate the wine's fruit. While there is good ripeness, as well as plenty of glycerin and alcohol, the oak has the upper hand at the moment. If everything comes together, the 1990 Nairac should be a good, though not exciting bottle of wine.
