This dense ruby/purple-colored 1999 is a modern day clone of this estate's wonderful 1962. The 1999 reveals forward, open-knit notes of creme de cassis and earth. It is fleshy, medium to full-bodied, and succulent, with supple tannin, excellent balance, as well as a long, pure, ripe finish. This seductive effort will drink well for 12-15 years, possibly longer.
Mid crimson. Sweet and lifted. Easy. A bit jagged. The acidity dominates. Can't see how anyone will ever swoon over this, though it is certainly perfectly serviceable. (JR)
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 18/20 points.
