Notes on Viticultural Year and Harvest
The wet harvest of 1999 was followed by a cold and dry winter.
April and May were very wet; half of the annual rainfall fell in those two months. June and July were dry.
August continued dry and the first half was extremely hot. The end of August and early September had perfect ripening conditions, with long warm days.
A few days of rain between 10 and 18 September produced ideal conditions and finished maturation. The resulting wines were very full-bodied, with intense color and very attractive aromas.
Tasting notes
Good intensity and deep purple.
Fresh ripe fruit aromas, cassis, chocolate. A nice touch of cedar and spice on the nose.
