The ruby-colored robe of the 1990 Clos de la Roche is beginning to show touches of amber on the edge. The wine reveals a rich, spicy nose of cedar and blackberries. On the palate, this full-bodied, broad, fat, and velvety-textured wine is packed with tobacco, cedar, spice, and super-ripe dark fruit flavors. Its plump, supple tannins, and palate-coating, dense character are a hedonist's dream while its complexity and refinement are made-to-order for those searching out intellectual delights. Drink it over the next 5-7 years.
