Yummy aromas of ripe plum and flowers follow through to a medium body, with soft and silky tannins and a light finish. Drying out a bit.¿'89/'99 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2009). Drink now. 13,080 cases made.-James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2010

This 1999 is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, and 18% Cabernet Franc. The saturated purple-colored 1999 displays a dense, flamboyant bouquet of roasted herbs, cedar, cassis, new saddle leather, and espresso. It is soft, seductive, velvety-textured, and endearing in a concentrated, lush style. It will provide enjoyment for 15-16 years. It is a top effort for the vintage. Apr 2002, www.robertparker.com
