Le Bon Pasteur 1990 750ml

Le Bon Pasteur is the Pomerol estate long owned by the family of Michel Rolland, the world-famous consultant who honed his ripe, plush, Merlot-driven style here before taking it around the globe. The 1990 comes from one of the twentieth century's great Right Bank vintages, a hot, generous year that produced lush, opulent wines. Robert Parker found mocha, caramel, spice box, ripe plum, fig and black cherry, calling the palate "soft, creamy, expansive, sexy, and fleshy." Wine Spectator noted plum and tobacco on a silky, medium-bodied frame. Now well into its fourth decade, it is fully mature, so enjoy it soon for its generous, aged charm.
