Michael Edwards: The 1990 is a big vintage for those who might crave red wine but wish to continue with Champagne. Of remarkable luminosity, with glowing hints of copper, then aromas of morello cherries and gingerbread and a lingering touch of licorice. The palate is long and softly textured, ushering in a surprising ampleness and vinosity. A slightly oxidative finish, which contrasts with the still fresh Cave Privée ’89 Rosé, an established miracle of the Collection. | 17.5
