This is still quite deeply colored with only a touch of bricking. A notably ripe and fully mature nose is composed of earth, game and spice hints along with now secondary-tinged dark berry fruit notes though no sous bois. The big-bodied and impressively scaled flavors brim with dry extract and still possess ample supporting tannins on the hugely long and palate coating finish. This is no model of finesse or elegance but it is a robust and muscular Clos de Vougeot that will live for decades to come though as good as it is, it's an open question as to whether the tannins will ever completely resolve. Still, putting aside questions about whether the '90 Clos de Vougeot is perfectly balanced or not, what is indisputable is that it offers a dramatic drinking experience.
