Smoked bacon, juniper berries, candle wax, and cherries can be found in the nose of the medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Clos Vougeot Le Grand Maupertui. This full-bodied, chewy-textured, highly extracted wine is crammed with pain grille, blackberry syrup, Asian spices, and bacon. It is intense, plush, delineated, and has outstanding depth. Projected maturity: 2005-2015.
