Castello di Rampolla 1999
Very dark black fig and damson nose, hints of prune and black truffle, young and solid, coffe and valrhona chocolate, very classy nose, smooth tannins, elegant palate very well balanced, soft and luxurious.
Dominic Laurent 1999
Pale red garbet, brick rim, nose little closed and light, earthy and vegetal forest floor with rowan cranberry aromas, not too complex, fruity round and rich on palate bright cherry acidity, easy drinking medium to long length. Pleasant.
Bernard Dugat Py 1999
Very deep purple bowl fading to a red rim, high viscosity, nose delicious (after 2 hours open) ripe fat and rich raspberry/kirch aromas, meaty and bloody with bacon fat and a touch of undergrowth. Ripe fruit on attcak, medium acidity, developed tannins, length very short and disappointing compared to nose, short length and grippy mean dry tannis on sides of mouth.
