With the superlative 1999 vintage, Louis Jadot, one of the top Burgundy negociants, has been able to produce a deep, dense purple-colored wine. With firm tannins over huge black chocolate and sweet figs and huge layers of acidity, it has great shape and structure, worthy of the vintage. A big, chunky wine with enormous presence, rounded out by the wood. ——R.V.(11/1/2002)—— 96
