Louis Jadot Cazetiers 1990 a nice mature Burgundy, with the typical spicy Jadot style. Vintage and terroir is a perfect match, and the wine is now approaching its optimum – it will probably keep another 10 years, but will hardly get better. One can hope the hot 1999 wines evolves towards the equilibrium that exists in some of the mature wines from 1990. Fine to very Fine. (now – 2020) – 92p
