CDP Vieux Télégraphe, Vignobles Brunier Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe 1999

Tasting Notes

The elegant, restrained 1999 may not possess the power, majesty or aging potential of the 1998 or 2000, but it is a stylish effort. Dark ruby coloured, with a bouquet of sweet black fruit intertwined with mineral, licorice and resin, it is layered, long and deep, with bright acidity as well as firm tannin in the finish. Cellar it for several years and drink it over the following 12-15. Sandwiched between the full throttle 1998 and 2000 the 1999 will be overlooked.
