1999 La Gomerie

The 1999 vintage suffered from hail damage, resulting in a foursquare, monolithic, lighter wine without this cru's typical nuances and depth. It is deep ruby-colored with aromas of new oak and black cherries. This medium-bodied 1999 should be consumed over the next decade.

Good ruby-red. Floral aromas of bitter cherry and dark chocolate. Medium-bodied and chocolatey in the mouth, with bright cherry flavor showing moderate ripeness and depth. Tannins betray a slight dry edge but avoid greenness.
