1999 - Chateau D'Armailhac

The dense ruby/purple-colored 1999 d'Armailhac displays a gorgeous perfume of spice box, coffee, cedar, licorice, and leather scents. It is sexy, with loads of fruit, medium body, and sweet tannin in the smoky, flamboyant finish. It will drink well for 12-15 years.'

"Flowers, sweet tobacco and berries on the nose follow through to a full body, with silky tannins and a medium finish. Lovely mouthfeel. Lots of life ahead here, but delicious now. Still one of the best buys of the vintage._'89/'99 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2009). Best after 2011. "
