1999 Domaine Daniel & Martine Barraud Pouilly-Fuissé Les Crays Vieilles Vignes

Mineral-imbued fresh oak can be discerned in the aromatics of the 1999 Pouilly-Fuisse Les Crays Vieilles Vignes. This medium-bodied, fat, focused, and deep wine is packed with minerals, apples, pears, and spices. It has outstanding concentration and depth of fruit, as well as an admirable, pure, and supple finish. This is a gorgeous 1999 with all of its qualities and none of its flaws. Drink it over the course of the next 7 years.
