The 1990 Mercurey-Les Veleys exhibits an impressive, opaque dark ruby/purple color, full-bodied, powerful flavors, and considerable tannin in the finish. This big, broad-shouldered wine will benefit from 1-3 years of cellaring, and keep for at least a decade. Proprietor Yves de Launay continues to fashion classic, long-lived wines from his well-situated vineyards in Mercurey. Importer: Neal Rosenthal, Select Vineyards, New York, NY.
