Chateau Raymond Lafon 1990

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (95)

The 1990 may be the most complete and botrytised among this trio of exceptional wines from Raymond-Lafon. The wine possesses a light to medium gold color. It also possesses an opulent, full-bodied, exotic, lavishly rich personality, moderate sweetness, and huge quantity of extract, glycerin, and alcohol in its finish. The wine is also extremely young and unevolved. It can be drunk now, but purchasers are advised to wait until the turn of the century and enjoy it over the following two decades.

Winespectator (90)

Stands out in this crowd because of its stylish lilac, violet, floral, rose petal scents that delight from start to finish; medium-to-full body and sweetness plus a long finish.
