Score 92/100 · Drink 2005-2026, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Aug 2022
From an earlier era, before Jean-Baptiste Lecaillon took Roederer's winemaking in a somewhat more reductive direction, the 1990 Brut Vintage is a medium to full-bodied, rich and pillowy wine evocative of apricots, dried fruits, honeycomb, spices, caramel and toasted nuts. It's a delicious mature wine, still animated by a pretty pinpoint mousse, that's cut from more old-fashioned cloth.

Score 90/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
Yeasty, toasty aromas of pear, apple, fresh herbs and macadamia nut. Rich, smooth, ripe and satisfying; a rather full dosage gives this biscuity, deep wine broad appeal. Not yet especially complex, but has the material to develop further in bottle. Long and ripe on the back end.
