1990 Rouget Echezeaux - I was surprised by the strong nose of toasty oak, which faded to reveal some sweetness, prunes and clear oxidation. I must say I was a little disappointed in this wine, too.

A pair of 1990s
Dinner at Caprice.
1990 Guigal La Turque - unfortunately, the wine disappointed tonight. Two hours in the decanted failed to open the wine sufficiently, and the nose was initially very muted. Gradually the unmistakable floral notes emerged, along with black fruits, prunes, smoke, game meat and forest. A little alcoholic, actually. But the real deal never showed up. I would rate it 92 points at best, far from the perfection I expected.
