Description

Chateau Haut Brion 1990
Pessac-Leognan
6lbsl, 1hfl, 5lscl, 1lwisl, 3ssos
Magnum (6)

The Kings County Cellar, A Monumental Bordeaux Collection from a Brooklyn Original: All wines have been stored in a temperature-controlled cellar on the collector’s estate, offering pristine provenance and breathtaking formats.

"In terms of the brilliant complexity and nobility of the aromatics, scorched earth, black currants, plums, charcoal, cedar, and spices, the 1990 offers an aromatic explosion that is unparalleled. It is always fascinating to taste this wine next to the 1989, which is a monumental effort, but much more backward and denser, without the aromatic complexity of the 1990. The 1990 put on weight after bottling, and is currently rich, full-bodied, opulent, even flamboyant by Haut Brion’s standards. It is an incredible expression of a noble terroir in a top vintage." (98 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, June 2009)

“The 1990 Haut-Brion is exotic, flamboyant and super-expressive. Dark fruit, leather, licorice and grilled herbs are all amped up. Although the 1990 doesn’t quite have the aromatic depth and intensity of the very finest years, it is nevertheless a stunning, gorgeous wine of the highest level.” (96 pts. Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb. 2020)
