Serena Sutcliffe: Vintage September 14–28. A very generous 50hl/ha. 13% ABV. 61% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Franc. Very vibrant violets nose. Superb fresh-plums taste. Smooth as silk. The tannins are so ripe. Mouth-melting. Black-cherries finish. Maybe the best 1999 in Bordeaux and a relative bargain to boot.
