Wow. Yes. Tough vintage, cool year with late heat spike pushing ripeness. This 1999 showed the vintage character well, not a powerhouse but well balanced. Gorgeous layers and nuance from black fruited, pencil graphite, savory tobacco. Impeccable balance on palate with melted tannins and well judged acidity. — a month ago
Benchmark. Beautiful. Elegant Sangiovese with classic Sangiovese nose of herbs, red fruited, floral. Wonderful balance. — a month ago
Disappointing. Lacking precision of fruit profile. Still tannic with good spine and structure to age longer, but underwhelming. — 2 months ago

Benchmark. A pincale of Austrian Riesling. Incredible verve and energy, full spectrum of citrus flavored with intense stony mineral. Fantastic youthful Riesling. — a month ago
