Score 86/100 · Drink 2002-2007, Robert Parker, Apr 2002
This light-bodied, attractive, tobacco, berry, and cherry-scented, well-made, elegant 1999 is best drunk over the next 3-5 years. Like most vintages, it is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc.

Score 86-88/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
Medium red. Roasted aromas of redcurrant, raspberry and tobacco. Fresh and minerally, with very good vinosity for the vintage. Finishes with fine, ripe tannins. Rather shapely Graves.
