Note di degustazione
Both 1999s showed some maturity and are drinking at point. The 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon offers lots of tobacco, cedar, and sweet red and black fruits as well as hints of eucalyptus and mint. Medium to full-bodied, with silky tannins, and perfect balance, drink it over the coming decade.

The opaque purple-colored 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon boasts exceptionally sweet fruit as well as a tell-tale perfume of melted licorice, black currant liqueur, and hints of blueberries and flowers. This wine is long, ripe, and full-bodied, with the vintage's more noticeable, astringent tannin. It will be at its apogee between 2006-2021. (Release date 10/02) Tel.

Full saturated ruby. Bright, perfumed aromas of cassis, black cherry, licorice, violet and mint. Dense but firm and penetrating, with extremely pure, classy flavors of blackberry and cassis. Lively acids contribute to the impression of clarity. Finishes with big, mouthdusting tannins and terrific length.
