Description
Robert Parker: This 1999 is deep ruby/purple-colored, with a
striking perfume of black cherries, truffles, cedar, and vanilla.
This layered, opulently-textured wine displays extraordinary
purity, elegance, and finesse. It is a classic Bordeaux with superb
palate presence that builds incrementally on the palate. The finish
is long, with plenty of sweet tannin. Very impressive! Three
thousand cases of the 1999 were made from a blend of 85% Merlot,
10% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Last year it seemed
to reveal an element of dilution, but as always, the truth is in
the bottle, and presently there is no evidence of lightness or
liquidity. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2018.
