Tasting notes
The 1990 d'Arche may be overripe and too alcoholic. It is quite powerful, but its lack of acidity may prove to be its undoing. If the wine pulls itself together, it will turn out to be a good to very good, muscular Sauternes that will offer big, thick, chewy fruit in a high alcohol, fiery format. Hopefully, it will evolve for another decade.
