Very pretty red fruit and floral notes. Soft dark cherry, roses, a touch of tang. Supple and delicious. Long

I have such a soft spot for her wines and was super excited to try this particular vintage with her winemaking style and it did not disappoint. So sexy and seductive and its aromas waft from the glass making it so hard to put down. You can detect the ripeness of the vintage but it’s not overdone and her elegant style adds focus. Ethereal palate with superb delineation, especially so for the vintage. Long and lifted finish. So good.

Power without weight. I like using this phrase to describe great wines, and it couldn't be more fitting here. Compact, concentrated, red-berried elegance. Still a baby, so best to leave yours laying.

Lovely level of wood, fruit, and maybe just a touch of volatility which is perfectly suited. Love these wines

Full red with virtually no amber. Inviting aromas of strawberry, woodsmoke, tobacco and earth, plus a cedary balsamic note. Large-scaled, thick wine with sappy pungency to its flavors of redcurrant, tobacco and saline minerality. The wine's fatness is perfectly cut by brisk acidity. Shows sexy notes of evolution but this grand cru finishes with remarkable energy--in fact even a bit clenched. Fans of fully mature Burgundies might want to wait another six to eight years before pulling the cork. Incidentally, Marie-Christine Mugneret singled out 1999 as the year when the estate's wines began to change, as their vineyard work through the '90s bore fruit. The year also witnessed the estate's longest fermentations to that point, due mostly to very high grape sugars. This wine was de-cuved with ten grams of sugar, and the fermentation finished slowly in barrels. (Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, March 2018)
