Tasting notes
Quite pale. Toasty, rather sophisticated nose. A ballet dancer. Light, though not disappointingly light. A very distinctive, un-modern style. (JR)

This attractive dark ruby-colored, well-balanced, medium-bodied 1999 exhibits notes of underbrush, cassis liqueur, and dried herbs. The wine possesses finesse, harmony, and copious fruit. It can be consumed now and over the next 13-14 years.
Offers nice chocolate, coffee and plum aromas. Medium-bodied, with wood, chocolate and fruit flavors and a medium finish. New wood starting to dominate now. '89/'99 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2009). Drink now. 25,830 cases made.-James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2010
