Gorgeous. Yellow color with a gold hue. Aromas of vanilla, honey and lemon, with a hint of biscuit. Full-bodied, very sweet, with a thick texture and a long, fruity finish. Will easily age, but why wait?--1990 Bordeaux retrospective. Drink now. 2,500 cases made. –JS

The 1990 continues to develop exceptionally well (better than I thought), and now looks to be a worthy rival of the dazzling 1988. The superb aromatics (pineapple, acacia, vanilla, and honey) are followed by a rich, full-bodied, atypically powerful Climens that possesses adequate acidity, high alcohol, and even higher levels of extract and fruit. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2030.

Tasted at Chateau Climens. A limpid golden hue. The nose is just glorious with plumes of quince, fruit cake, honey, mango and petrol soaring from the glass with superb definition. The palate is one big mouthful of botrytis-rich Barsac: mango, honey, spice, quince and a hint of kerosene. What sets it apart is the balance and the acidity cutting a swathe through all the richness on the unctuous finish. Enormous length. A stunning Climens. Drink now-2040.
Set-up parfait pour moi serait 1 Champagne , 1 blanc , 5 rouges et 1 dessert......................et je vais vivre ou mourir avec mon offrande de départ......Château Climens 1990...........
