Description
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Pierre Rovani
The dark-colored 1999 Clos Vougeot reveals provocative pain grille and vanilla bean aromas. This medium to full-bodied wine is densely packed with cherries, spices, licorice, and candied blueberries. It is velvety-textured, intense, and possesses an amazingly long, supple finish. This harmonious and extremely well-balanced wine should be at its peak of maturity between 2005 and 2018. Importer: Martine's Wines, San Raphael, CA; tel. (415) 485-1800.
