96 points -- ... extremely concentrated, massive, full-bodied... This is extreme Merlot, but wow, what an impressive wine... 100% Merlot... opaque purple-colored 1999 exhibits phenomenally ripe notes of jammy blackberry and cherry fruit intermixed with roasted coffee and pain grille... this huge, viscous wine needs to settle down, but there is unbelievable upside potential...
