Modern meets traditional. Excellent vintage drinking beautifully. There's a good reason these are pricey.

I’ve loved 00, 10 & 11 of these as well as 1970 - this 99 was beautiful & will keep going & going - would like to retry a whole bottle to appreciate fully but just yum 😍 From memory it was really well balanced loaded with spiced red cherry & berry, red potpourri, smoke, mushroom, dusty cellar, tar, liquorice, cocoa & herbs with a silky long elegant finish 👍

Outstanding with gnocchi. Subtle but nice fruit and excellent balance.

Opened to bold fruity flavor then settled to a smooth deep flavor.

Rubber. Very fresh. A bit tight at the open.
