This 1999 is one of the finest efforts of the vintage. It offers up complex aromatics consisting of herbs, red and black fruits, minerals, acacia flowers, and licorice. The dark plum color does not possess the saturation of a vintage such as 2000, but this is pure seduction in a medium-bodied, beautifully balanced, nicely-textured effort. It is virtually impossible to duplicate such a wine anywhere else in the world.
Blueberry and fresh spearmint aromas follow through to a full body, with a good amount of plum, meat and mushroom character on the palate.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 17/20 points.
