Youthful and loaded with minerality and tannin
My only real criticism of Roederer is the estates insistence on using lot numbers that resemble missile launch codes in their complexity
It shows great lenghth with cacao powder and fruit notes
This is also aromatically super-fresh with a lovely mélange of plum
Refreshing on the palate
Mission Haut Brion Vintage:1990 Youthful and loaded with mineralityThe knockout nose, with all its smoke, hot stone, campfire embers, burnt earth, tobacco, cigar wrapper and roasted, ripe red fruits is a beauty. Full bodied, with good concentration, the tannins are a bit rustic, so the wine lacks the polish of the better vintages, but with decanting, the wine fills out, offering a classic expression of its charms. You can drink now with 1 2 hours of air, else, wait another 5 years.
