Critic tasting note: (1999 vintage) “The complexity of chocolate, toasted almonds, praline, burnt toffee, mushrooms and earth here is stunning. There’s a beautiful, spiced cherry-biscuit edge, too. The palate has a suave, supple and silky feel with such fleshy depth and drive. So melted together in flavors, so succulently textural and full of dried-strawberry flavor. Long with plenty of time ahead. Disgorged in 2014 after seven years sur latte and seven years sur pointe. Drink or hold.” – James Suckling
