Indulge in the world-class elegance of Olivier 1990, a majestic Bordeaux from France's esteemed Château Olivier. As a trusted steward of tradition, Château Olivier is famed for creating nuanced, multi-dimensional wines that exhibit the rich character of Bordeaux's terroir. The 1990 vintage celebrates the pinnacle of their craftsmanship - a legendary year for winemaking in the region, yielding wines of extraordinary concentration and longevity. The Olivier 1990 is typified by its depth and complexity - layers of ripe black fruits, truffles, and tobacco harmonising in a symphony of flavours. Remarkable tannic structure and a vibrant acidity offer an impeccably balanced palate. Matured for 18 months in oak barrels, this wine reveals intricate undertones of cocoa and spices that enrich the textural richness. Framed by the ethereal elegance of its Pessac-Léognan appellation, the Olivier 1990 remains an unparalleled example of long-lived Bordeaux, testament to its superior vintage. Immerse in the pure sophistication of this revered quaff, each sip promising a journey to the heart of Château Olivier's legacy. |

Wine Enthusiast (92)91-93 Dark tannins, polished herbal fruit, great acidity, a wine that promises much for the future. It has freshness as well as weight. |

Decanter (92)This is one of the more finessed and well expressed examples of powerful cassis and blackberry fruits in 2017. I love the sense of energy and juice that sits beneath the fruit - again, not something that you are seeing everywhere. A good job from Olivier, even if it hasn't quite reached the heights of 2015 and 2016. Very satisfying, and should develop nicely over next few years. |

Wine Enthusiast (94-96)Barrel Sample. This is a firmly structured wine with powerful tannins that contrast with the intense acidity and ripe black-currant flavor. It has a smoky edge and a hint of pepper. The future is good for this wine. |

Decanter (93)Lovely nose of sour cherry, caramel, roses and blackcurrants; so expressive. Dense and chewy fruit on the palate - this has a succulence and sweet softness which is appealing. It's lightly framed, not dense or weighty but has excellent clarity and precision: clear, linear with tension and drive. It's focused and all in one stream right now but I love the juiciness, the texture and the minerality. Will be good to see how the ageing expands the palate. A clear Pessac success in the vintage. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (91)The 2015 Olivier Blanc has a fragrant bouquet of fresh pear, red apple and light lanolin aromas soaring from the glass. The palate is very appley on the entry: Granny Smith apples and a touch of pear segue into a ginger-tinged second half that fans out nicely. Lacks a little sophistication but is well-crafted. One of the better white Oliviers that I have tasted in recent years. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting. |

Wine Enthusiast (94-96)Barrel Sample. The wine is textured and tight, hinting at steeliness and showing a salty character that contrasts with the lemon flavor. These tones are joined by tropical elements, giving a ripe, fruity finish. |

James Suckling (92-93)Tangy and flavorful with lemon-rind and cooked-apple aromas and flavors. It’s tight and lively with plenty of fruit and intensity. Consistently outstanding. |
