These wines are from the collection of a dearly departed patriarch. He was a great lover of classic wines and the selection for sale most certainly reflects that. The bottles were purchased upon release and have been privately stored in the same location since joining the collection, temperature controlled.
1990 Louis Roederer Cristal Brut Millesime Champagne from this lot has the following scores - Decanter 99 points, Jamie Goode 98 points, Vinous 97 points, The Wine Advocate 97 points. This is the tasting note for 1990 Louis Roederer Cristal Brut Millesime Champagne from Robert Parker - The 1990 Cristal is a dramatic, sweeping wine endowed with masses of apricots, peaches, flowers and minerals. A large-scaled Cristal, the 1990 combines size with clarity and focus in a remarkably complete style that recalls the 1982. The wine remains generous on the palate, with stunning length and a finish that lasts forever. The 1990 Cristal is 62% Pinot Noir, 38% Chardonnay. Just a small portion of the wine (7-10%) underwent malolactic fermentation. This bottle was disgorged in late 2007 with 8 grams of dosage. 1990 Dom Perignon Brut Champagne from this lot has the following scores - James Suckling 99 points, The Wine Advocate 98 points, Jeannie Cho Lee (formerly Asian Palate) 97 points. This is the tasting note for 1990 Dom Perignon Brut Champagne from Robert Parker - The profoundly rich 1990 Dom Perignon is a creamy-textured, full styled offering that loses none of its elegance in spite of its flavor authority. It will improve for 5-10 years, and appears capable of surpassing the fabulous 1985 and 1982. It seems obvious that the quality of the 1990 Champagne vintage is going to be remarkable, and the world-wide demand will be unprecedented. The message - buy them now!.
