Deep red with ruby highlights, but Guillaume d'Angerville noted that this premier cru is typically softly extracted and light in color. Compelling, vibrant aromas of blueberry pastille, violet, licorice and spicecake. Incredibly primary and sweet, with its density leavened by harmonious acidity. Pliant dark berry flavors are complicated by hints of flowers and spices. This very pure wine has to be one of the most youthful 1999s I tasted this winter. Finishes with utterly suave tannins and outstanding length. This infant is just beginning to open and should enjoy a long plateau of maturity. D'Angerville described 1999 as "a magical vintage," noting that the yield here was at least 40 hectoliters per hectare. His father Jacques actually held back 4,000 bottles of wine in '99 but Guillaume has released most of these bottles by now to loyal clients of the domain.

Wow, in a very nice place right now, tannins completely gone. The Merlot softens the palate, but the Cabernet still dominates on the nose. Drinking probably at peak.

Very classy: rich but subtle texture, acidity still very high, with lightly mature notes of mushrooms. ($99 at K&L which is a great price for such a sophisticated and mature wine - 1999 vintage) — 11 years ago

AJ 99/100 - Questa annata ha scatenato un vespaio, e dal voto potete ben capire da che parte stessi :) Per me lo champagne definitivo malgrado 85 e 82 siano in realtà le annate "top", per altri sottotono, tanto che non sarebbe neanche dovuto essere imbottigliato.... Giallo paglierino tendente oro, naso complesso con aromi di sottobosco, brioche, marzapane, vaniglia, fieno, miele, lieve pietra focaia, tutto, con grandissima finezza e armonia, in bocca esplode con grande corrispondenza al naso, buono, pieno, sapido, grasso, finale... Senza fine! A questo punto DEVO assaggiare le altre due annate di Salon per provare la perfezione! — 11 years ago
