Since 1986, the Perrins have produced a cuvee of Roussanne old vines. The 1990 Roussanne Vieilles Vignes has that distinctive bouquet of honey, smoky hazelnuts, and pineapples. In the mouth, it is closed, but rich and full, with an intriguing texture, as well as a firm but promising finish. In comparison to the 1989, it is more structured, and not as soft and opulent, but is as concentrated. It may merit an even higher score in ten years' time. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Chester, VT.
