TN Bonnes-Mares 1990, Comte de Vogue

The wine was Bonnes-Mares 1990, Comte de Vogue, bottle # 00624. There were no cork issues, and the fill was quite high. The wine is still rather full colored. It is now mature, but it might improve a bit more and likely will last many more years. The bouquet is quite intense with cherries, a hint of strawberries, and something floral coming to mind. Tannins are resolved. There is plenty of fruit in the taste, and the acid level is correct. The finish is fairly long. While perhaps not the red Burgundy of the vintage for 1990, it is not very far behind the very best. Unfortunately I only bought this one bottle shortly after it was released. I do have a few bottles of de Vogue's

1990 Musigny VV, and hopefully it will be a bit better than this wine, but one could hardly complain much if it is not and is only just as good as the Bonnes Mares.

Not sure I've ever had a Vogue that has lived up to expectations but to e fair, I don't think I've ever had one that is fully mature and I've had them up to twenty years old.
