Gaston Chiquet Brut - 1990 (750ml)

91 points Vinous

Oily, soil-inflected aromas of flowers, caraway seed and tropical fruit. Big, rich, nutty and fresh, with a lovely suave texture; a harmonious, medium-bodied wine with a firm acid structure lifting the flavors. Complicating yeast autolysis notes add to its complexity. Vibrant, quite dry and long on the finish. A terrific showing today, and approachable now.
