Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 1990 Pauillac, 2eme Cru Classe u: into neck, lightly nicked capsules, one stained label "A remarkable vintage for Pichon Longueville Baron, 1990 is one of this estate's two or three finest wines made in the last 40 years. Still inky/blue/purple-tinged to the rim, it reveals an extraordinary bouquet of charcoal, incense, creme de cassis, blue and black fruits, and a hint of licorice as well as an impressively long finish. While drinkable, its evolution is extremely slow, and I would not be surprised to see it last another two decades or more." R. Parker, for TWA, 97 pts. 06/09 6 bottles
