Tasting Notes

In contrast to the almost exuberant expressiveness of several vintages of Brulées, the '99 is quite reserved though aggressive swirling coaxes the first hints of secondary development and gorgeous spice notes that can also be found on the still quite primary, indeed youthful big-bodied flavors that are stylish and pure while culminating in a mouth coating and strikingly intense finish where a discreet touch of wood surfaces. This is one of those wines that is actually quite firmly structured but there is so much mid-palate extract that the flavors are deceptively approachable. While some may enjoy this for what it already has to offer, for my preferences I would continue to let this slumber for at least another 5 to 8 years. In sum, a great vintage for this wine.
