Vintage information 1990:

A majorly hyped vintage, reds particularly so. Not all have aged in-line with the hype, showing flabby and roast flavours coupled to 'dodgy' acidity. The best are superb, but they are not in the majority. Whites were less hyped, yet with good storage the average quality seems not far from that of the reds...

 

 

1990 Méo-Camuzet, Vosne-Romanée Les ChaumesApr. 2007
Medium-plus colour. Just seems a little cleaner and sweeter than the ‘89 and no surmaturité, though it’s quite dense. The palate also has quite some density, indeed it seems rather monolithic – long but quite primary. There’s plenty of tannin if you look for it. Over about 45 minutes in the glass I never felt that there was a moment where the wine blossomed, the nose remaining finer than the palate. Given the density and relatively primary aspect I would suggest waiting another 3+ years before revisiting.
