A UNIQUE AND EXCEPTIONAL RANGE OF 1999 GRAND CRU BURGUNDIES FROM LEADING DOMAINES INCLUDING DRC, DE VOGUE, ROUMIER, ROUSSEAU, PONSOT, JAYER AND ROUGET
Once every decade, if we are fortunate, the vintage conditions in Burgundy are such, that it is just possible to produce the most exceptional red wines of beguiling aromas, great depth and extraordinary concentration. These are the wines of legend - wines that can live for many decades, developing unique characteristics that will only ever be found in fine red Burgundy of a Classic Vintage. The year of 1999 was such a vintage and here we present a stunning range of the finest and rarest Domaines such as DRC, de Vogüé, Ponsot, Armand Rousseau, George Roumier and Henri Jayer - to tempt the palates of the world's most discerning Burgundy lovers.

Bottle numbers 04246 - 04251. Non-integrated U.S.-import back labels
Tasting Note: Two notes. First tasted in Feb 2002. Like a coiled spring. Massive, masculine. Most recently: deep, showing more development than expected; initially low-keyed but rich and very distinctive, opening up cautiously, touch of liquorice and, surprisingly toffee-like but great depth; sweet, rich, massive concentration and intensity, mouthfilling flavour, great length and magnificent aftertaste. Fleshy, tremendous power. July 2003 (******) 2015 - 2030. M.B.
