CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 1990 Cornas is far better. A gorgeous nose offers a mélange of red and black fruit, melted tar, garrigue and seaweed, gaining complexity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins, plenty of white pepper and clove notes and hints of blood orange towards the refined and effortless finish. What a glorious Cornas this is at 35 years of age!
Robert M. Parker, Jr.
Clape's 1990 Cornas is outstanding. The color is an opaque black/purple, and the nose offers up rich, ripe aromas of black fruits, licorice, and spices. Superconcentrated, with a full-bodied, highly extracted, mouth-filling taste, this example of Cornas possesses moderate tannin, adequate acidity, and a smashingly long finish. It is also relatively refined for a Cornas, displaying no signs of the rustic tannin or funky, earthy smells many Cornas can possess. Although it can be drunk now, I would recommend waiting at least 3-4 years. Enjoy it over the next 12-15 years. Last tasted 1/96.
