The dense ruby/purple-colored 1999 exhibits rustic tannin along with aromas of espresso intermixed with black chocolate, currants, and sweet cherries. While more firmly structured than the 1998, I would still opt for drinking it over the next 3-4 years. This is an excellent value.Importer: Classical Wines from Spain Ltd., Seattle, WA; tel.
