Chateau La Mondotte 1999

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (94)

Along with the 1997, the 1999 is the most forward and accessible La Mondotte yet produced. Its opaque purple color is followed by a glorious nose of candied black fruits, graphite, licorice, and underbrush. It is full-bodied and sumptuous, possessing amazing extract and richness for the vintage. Its high tannin is hidden by a wealth of glycerin, fruit, and extract. Moreover, the finish lasts for 35-45 seconds. This is an amazing achievement in 1999.

Winespectator (89)

Slightly overextracted, but shows serious aromas, with lots of black licorice, violets, berries and coffee on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied, with an herbal, berry character, medium tannins and a fresh finish.
