BUY THE WINE

Michael Steinberger: The nose is a bit subdued initially but opens up to reveal a potpourri of red berry, menthol, scorched earth, and smoke. Cool, elegant, and supremely poised, with fleshy dark fruit and that impeccable Haut-Brion harmony and grace. Though the ’90 will forever be overshadowed by the ’89, it is a brilliant wine in its own right. 19.5–20
