APPEARANCE
A beautifully evolved, deep garnet color with amber-brick edge due to long cellaring.

NOSE
Expressive, sweet, and heavily mature. The rich black fruit core has dried down into notes of prune, baked plum, and dried figs. It is highly layered with savory undertones of leather, cedar wood, sweet tobacco, and a faint hint of mocha spice.

PALATE
Medium to full-bodied, sturdy, and highly integrated. The naturally robust and rustic tannins of the Listrac-Médoc have softened completely, presenting a velvety, plump, and creamy mouthfeel.

AGEING
In oak barrels for 12 months (60% new).

PAIRING
An old, delicate vintage like 1990 requires savory dishes that respect its mature profile without drowning it out.
