"This dark ruby/purple-colored 1999 is an elegant, soft, tobacco-infused, red currant and cherry-flavored effort. It is sweet and expansive on the attack, sexy, complex, earthy, and long. Consume this medium-weight Graves during its first 6-10 years of life. It is an impressive 1999."

Very good red. Aromas of chocolate, tar, spices and fruit. Medium-bodied, with good fruit and a smoky, meaty aftertaste.
