The stellar 1990 Clos de la Roche has a medium-to-dark ruby color and dense dark berry aromas. It possesses a youthful, almost impenetrable core of thick, lush blackberries, juniper berries, plums, cloves, and blueberries that coat the palate. This medium-to-full-bodied wine has exquisite equilibrium and focus, as well as a seemingly unending luxurious finish. Projected maturity: now-2010.
