Score 90/100 · Drink 2002-2014, Robert Parker, Dec 2002

The blockbuster 1999 Lamaione Castelgiocondo is a 100% Merlot aged in French oak. A deep ruby/purple color is followed by complex aromatics of espresso, sweet cassis, and blackberry fruit. This toasty, smoky, opulently-styled, rich, impressive 1999 exhibits loads of sweet tannin, concentration, and extract. Accessible now, it should drink well for 10-12 years.
