The brilliant 1999 reveals blueberry and blackberry fruit intermixed with creosote, tar, licorice, and earth. Medium to full-bodied, with sweet fruit as well as excellent purity, it should drink well for a decade.
Ripe fruit flavors of black raspberry and kirsch stay lively thanks to crisp acidity, while firm tannins keep this red in balance. It's assertive, if not refined.
