Ratings and Tasting Notes:

AG=92. WA=90 The dense plum/purple-colored 1999 offers up aromas of truffles, underbrush, espresso, black cherries, and roasted meats. The wine is powerful and muscular with high extract and mouth-searing tannin, it is an atypically backward effort for the vintage. Patient connoisseurs who admire wines with this level of intensity will be handsomely repaid for their discipline. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2020.

WS=90 Features an alluring, velvety feel up front, with steeped plum, blood orange and red currant fruit, slowly giving way to hints of truffle, mineral and singed alder. Everything knits together on the finish, with the fine, chalky minerality peeking out at the very end.—Non-blind Pavie Macquin vertical (December 2014). Drink now through 2019.
