1990 Bordeaux

Sorry you didn't like the Pichon Lalande, Bill. I had three bottles of this, one was bad (corked?), but I was quite pleased by the other two. The last bottle was the epitome of elegance, definitely at its peak. Not a heavyweight, by any means, but plenty of complexity, to my palate.

Alas, I have no more, nor can I afford any recent vintages of Pichon Lalande. I wonder if there is considerable bottle variation in the 90.

I recently had the 90 Clerc Milon, and I thought it was simple but drinkable, still with considerable tannin in the background.

Thanks for your notes. I look forward to drinking my Cos (only one bottle) and my three bottles of Lagrange (St. J.)
