- Pale color. Youthful aromas of lemon, quince, pear, toast, spice, chalk and red berries. Big, sweet and seamless, if a bit clenched in the early going. A powerful, very young wine whose fruit builds slowly in the mouth and explodes on the finish. A charry note contributes to its complexity. Possesses amazing depth of fruit, but the high quality of this wine can most easily be seen today on the extraordinary finish. May ultimately merit a 95+ rating.

- This is the great 1990 DP with an extra 4 years of aging on the lees. It is a youthful wine, light in color, rich and honeyed on the nose. Honeyed lemon on the palate, with toasted brioche, leads to intense, cyrstalline minerality.
