19.5/20 points Clive Coates (The Wines of Bordeaux): "Full colour. Still young. Very lovely fruit on the nose. A little more open and a little riper and more accessible than Latour and Margaux. Higher toned than the latter. This is most impressive. Real intensity and depth. Splendid harmony. Fullish. Excellent. Very fine indeed. Drink: Now-2025. (2004)"
5 stars (potential), Michael Broadbent's Pocket Vintage Wine Companion: "Consistently good notes: very deep, virtually opaque core, rich, velvety, still youthful; bouquet slow to evolve but devloping fragrant spiciness, touch of cedar and typical 'medicinal' whiff; medium-sweet, perfect weight (12.5%), good flavour, balance, length and excellent finish. A classic Lafite. Last tasted March 2000. Drink: 2010-2030."
96 points Robert Parker: "The 1990 Lafite has turned out far better than my early assessment. While it still possesses some firmness, and performs like a late adolescent in terms of its evolution, it boasts gorgeous aromas of cedar, tobacco leaf, cassis, and lead pencil shavings. The explosive aromas are followed by a fleshy, full-bodied wine that should hit its peak in 5-8 years, and last for 25-30 more. (Jun 2009)"
95 points Wine Spectator: "Very serious fruit, with juicy berry, tobacco and cedar character. Slightly more body than the 1989, but they are very close in character. I would give this a little more time. '89/'90 Bordeaux non-blind horizontal. Best after 2007."
