Ponsot's terrific 1990s are his finest wines since 1980. The 1990 Latricieres-Chambertin is the most developed. The exceptionally fragrant aroma of meat, herbs, and black fruits, includes a touch of macerated prunes to add to its complexity. Full-bodied and expansive, it has low acidity and gobs of richness and tannin. The wine can be drunk now, but promises to keep and improve for 10-15 more years.
