Description

Tasted in Bordeaux. What a fabulous Pauillac! It has stunning definition on the nose with scents of blackberry, fresh raspberry, a touch of iodine, cedar and graphite. The palate is beautifully balanced with perfect acidity: not a complex Pauillac wine but so effortless and graceful. It encapsulates everything great about “classic” Bordeaux that is so damn drinkable that a bottle is finish all too soon. I may have underrated this little gem in the past. Wonderful!

Score: 92 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, November 2011

This deep ruby/purple-colored 1999 has some tannin to resolve, but it is an elegant, medium-bodied, delicious effort that will reward readers who have the patience to cellar it for several years. It is not a blockbuster in the style of the 2000 or 1996, but the 1999 offers charming roundness, sweet cassis fruit, excellent purity, and fine overall balance. It should last for 16+ years. Drink 2002-2018.

Score: 90 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (140), April 2000

One of the best Classed Growths that we have tasted in recent months is this gorgeous Grand Puy Lacoste 1999 which is a wine that we can recommend very highly. Whilst we have been enjoying the easy-to-drink 1997 clarets over the last few years, the 1999's have opened up considerably and this better vintage is now ready to drink - even for our British palates - at the same value-for money prices."A bright medium ruby colour. Wonderfully focussed, pure, Medocain, Cabernet-Sauvignon nose. Rich blackcurrant, casis and wood smoke combined. Concentrated on the palate with gorgeous sweetness to the fruit. This is deliciously forward with ripe, soft, mature tannins and a warm succulent texture. Some attractive peppery spiciness too complimenting cherry and blackcurrant fruit. Classy, integrated, smoky French oak adds complexity. Lovely length and finish.Perfectly drinkable now although in the early stages of its maturity this wine will develop splendidly over the next 3-5 years.
