The 1999 Cote Rotie Brune et Blonde (25,000 cases) includes 5% Viognier in the blend. It is a fragrant, soft, medium-bodied effort revealing notes of violets, licorice, and jammy cherry as well as currant fruit presented in a sweet, medium to full-bodied style. Seductive and lush, it is impossible to resist. Consume it over the next 10-12 years. Score: 89 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate Maturity: 2003-2015 |

Shows a juicy core of macerated red and black cherry fruit woven with mesquite, aged tobacco and bittersweet cocoa. Has a tarry edge on the finish that steadily softens as this airs.--1999 Côte-Rôtie non-blind retrospective. Score: 90 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator Maturity: -2012 |

Mid, bright ruby. Relatively muted but interesting nose, and no question of brett ! Muscular, sinewy, masterfully smooth texture without being sweet or obviously oaked. Not a standout bottle but one that anyone would be happy to find on a restaurant list anywhere in the world. Smooth texture, not by any means as pure an expression of Côte Rôtie as some earlier bottlings in this tasting but full marks for effort! Some ripe tannins underneath. Score: 17 Jancis Robinson MW, Jancisrobinson.com Maturity: 2005-2015 |

Bright ruby-red. Superripe, expressive aromas of raspberry, coffee, roasted herbs and pepper; shows a slightly porty surmaturite. Rich, round and lush; a wonderfully ripe and full-blown yet fresh wine with substantial, solid tannins and superb persistence. This has a lot of all the key elements, including acidity. A superb vintage for this wine - and there are more than 27,000 cases of this stuff! Score: 92 Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar |
