The 1999 vintage is a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, and 4% Cabernet Franc. It displays a medium to deep garnet color and offers opulent aromas of blackcurrant, plum, cedar, tobacco, chocolate, coffee, and spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet refined, with supple tannins, elegant structure, and a long, layered finish .
