The 1990 Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Gaudichots certainly has a mature hue. The nose has retained freshness but has lost of lot of vigor: rustic and decayed red fruit with a slight farmyard scent that nags away, later replaced by some wild mint aromas. The palate is balanced but simple and missing some delineation. Fennel and rosemary dominate the finish that tapers away. Here the 1990 is clearly outclassed by the superior 1991. Drink now. Tasted May 2014.
