1990 Clos Vougeot Musigni

The 1990 offerings are potentially Bernard Gros' finest and most classically made wines. The glories are the three super-expensive, limited edition grands crus. Students of Burgundy know that Bernard Gros' parcel of Clos de Vougeot, which is situated next to the grand cru Musigny in neighboring Chambolle-Musigny, probably has the finest exposition entire Clos. The 1990 is an exquisite wine. The dark ruby/purple color, huge, flowery, sweet, black-cherry aromas, and super-crammed, fabulously rich palate are the makings of Burgundy legends. There are tons of glycerin and alcohol, as well as moderate tannin levels in this super-rich, hedonistic wine. Despite its massiveness, it has excellent balance. Drink it over the next 10-15 years.
