This dark ruby/purple-colored 1999 is an elegant, soft, tobacco-infused, red currant and cherry-flavored effort. It is sweet and expansive on the attack, sexy, complex, earthy, and long. Consume this medium-weight Graves during its first 6-10 years of life. It is an impressive 1999.

Red-ruby. Aromas of raspberry, leather, lead pencil, smoke and mint. Smoky and aromatic in the mouth, with subtle sweetness. In a distinctly gentle style and considerably more evolved than the 2000, even allowing for its additional year in barrel. Finishes with dusty tannins and good length.
About the producer

One of the most exciting properties in Bordeaux, Les Carmes Haut-Brion technically sits within the city’s limits today. Guillaume Pouthier arrived in 2012 and, under his tenure, the property has been elevated to the highest ranks.
