In terms of the brilliant complexity and nobility of the aromatics, scorched earth, black currants, plums, charcoal, cedar, and spices, the 1990 offers an aromatic explosion that is unparalleled... The 1990 put on weight after bottling, and is currently rich, full-bodied, opulent, even flamboyant by Haut Brion's standards. It is an incredible expression of a noble terroir in a top vintage. While it has been fully mature for a number of years, it does not reveal any bricking at the edge, and I suspect it will stay at this level for another 10-15 years ... but why wait? It is irresistible now. Robert Parker

The 90 HB did not disappoint and was the groups favorite over the 90 LM by a vote 7-3. This was rich, dense & opulent displaying dark berry, sweet currants, charcoal, leather, fig, olive, spices & cigar box. My favorite of the night!
