One of the strongest efforts in this vertical, the 1999 boasts a dark ruby color as well as a gorgeous perfume of currants, plums, figs, and earth, sweet, full-bodied flavors, good underlying acidity, ripe, well-integrated tannin, and a long, impressive finish revealing hints of underbrush and flowers. Drink this Burgundian-styled, fruit-filled Pinot over the next decade.
