Tasting Notes
Vinous 93
Deep ruby-red. Profound but discreet aromas of black raspberry, cassis, minerals, bitter chocolate and truffle. Impressively dense and concentrated, with new oak sweetening the palate, and firm minerality giving the flavors excellent definition. Finishes ripely tannic and very long.
Robert Parker 92-94
Smoked bacon, juniper berries, candle wax, and cherries can be found in the nose of the medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Clos Vougeot Le Grand Maupertui. This full-bodied, chewy-textured, highly extracted wine is crammed with pain grille, blackberry syrup, Asian spices, and bacon. It is intense, plush, delineated, and has outstanding depth. Projected maturity: 2005-2015.
Anticipated maturity: 2005-2015
