Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate#140(4/2002) Rating: 87 points Drink:2002 - 2012
Although this 1999 is pinched and compressed in the finish, it offers elegant, sweet/spicy black currant fruit intermixed with notions of toast, cedar, and dried herbs. This medium-bodied Pauillac is best consumed during its first decade of life. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2002) Score: 88
Fresh and vivid red, with floral and berry character throughout. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a focused, clean aftertaste. A fine claret. Best after 2004. 9,165 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating:
Ripe, warm and soft, though without the stuffing for a long cellar slumber. |
