The dense plum/purple-colored 1999 offers up aromas of truffles, underbrush, espresso, black cherries, and roasted meats. Powerful and muscular with high extract and mouth-searing tannin, it is an atypically backward effort for the vintage. Patient connoisseurs who admire wines with this level of intensity will be handsomely repaid for their discipline. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2020. Last tasted, 3/02.
plenty of floral, berry and mineral aromas. Medium bodied with firm tannins and a smoke, violet and vanilla aftertaste. Needs a bit more fruit ot be outstanding. Best after 2003. 4665 cases made.
This combines minerals and chocolate with tongue-dredging depth.
An amazing blockbuster for the third year in a row - Only Pomerol's famed Lafleur comes close to the personality of this wine.
