the 1999 is somewhat one-dimensional and not likely to improve considerably from here

equally fine and mineral-driven medium weight flavors is remarkably sophisticated

The mouth feel is beautifully refined and even silky with the outstanding complexity

Francois Lamarche, Echezeaux other_regions the 1999 is somewhat one-dimensional(from the climats of Les Rouges du Bas, Les Cruots and Clos St. Denis). A very attractive blend of black fruit, Vosne spice and a moderate dollop of new wood introduces rich, full and notably ripe flavors that possess good volume and a velvety, indeed almost suave finish that cannot disguise the impressive power and robust structure. This will require the better part of a decade to fully resolve the slightly rustic tannic spine. 90 2014+
