Along with the 1997, the 1999 is the most forward and accessible La Mondotte yet produced. Its opaque purple color is followed by a glorious nose of candied black fruits, graphite, licorice, and underbrush. It is full-bodied and sumptuous, possessing amazing extract and richness for the vintage. Its high tannin is hidden by a wealth of glycerin, fruit, and extract. Moreover, the finish lasts for 35-45 seconds. This is an amazing achievement in 1999. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2020.

Lovely chocolate aromas, as well as ripe berry and plum, follow through to a full body, with soft and velvety tannins and a long finish. Delicious and juicy now. Round and very yummy.—'89/'99 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2009). Drink now. 830 cases made. -JS
