1990 Bonneau du Martray, Corton Charlemagne, 14 half-bottle Bottle conditions : 14(in bond) All condition and packaging abbreviations (e.g., owc, ts, lbsl, etc.) are given in their original English form. Refer to our catalog for an explanation of these abbreviations. Wine notes: "Still remarkably tight for 15 years of age with a pungent minerality and still entirely fresh green fruit nose followed by medium weight, sweet, very youthful flavors that are wonderfully intense and precise and the two years since I last had this wine in this format have certainly improved the length as well as the intensity. While this could be drunk now with pleasure, it's still frankly too young and would be best left for another 5 years or so first. In short, this is a stunner of a wine and one that seems to just keep getting better and better with time."(94pts BH) Provenance: The Art of Collecting: Fifty-three lots from a successful international restaurateur, who ranks among the world’s most important fine art collectors and approaches wine with the same trained eye.
