The 1990 Clos de Bèze is another excellent 1990 from Charles Rousseau, and though it does not possess the haunting purity of this wine in vintages such as 1993 and 1996, it is still a very serious bottle of wine. The bouquet is a touch more “medicinal” than is the norm for this wine, offering up notes of bitter cherry, chocolate, a hint of prune, some orange rind, espresso, grilled meats, earth and toasty new oak on the nose. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep and lush, with good purity for the vintage, a rock solid core of fruit, plenty of ripe tannins, and great length and grip on the palate-staining finish. Again, I have to give it an ever so slight nod over the Chambertin in this vintage.
95 points Wine Spectator
Impressively concentrated, packed with bright flavors. Shows ripe fruit, smoke and earth notes on the extremely long finish. An exciting wine that takes off like a rocket.
