Also mature, yet with another level of texture and richness, the 1990 Hermitage is a profound effort that's drinking perfectly. Voluptuous, yet classy and still refined, with awesome cassis and blackberry fruit, flowers, rose petal and hints of rendered bacon fat, it is full-bodied, textured and layered on the palate, with no hard edges and killer length on the finish. This beauty makes lights go off in my head, and as with the '91, I'd drink bottles over the coming 4-5 years or so
