This opaque, purple-colored 1999 boasts a gorgeous nose of blueberry liqueur intermixed with cedar, spice box, coffee, and cassis. It is extremely supple-textured, spicy, with an expansive, savory, full-bodied palate, no hard edges, and a finish that lasts for nearly 35 seconds. This is an amazing wine for the vintage. It will be at its finest between 2003-2018. A brilliant effort !

From wine advocate #134
here are humongous quantities of jammy blueberry and blackberry aromas as well as flavors in this sweet, full-bodied, opulently-textured, rich, hedonistic 1999. Extremely showy when tasted it January, I see no reason why it would close down. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2016.
