PopnPour, cork broke in half, tasted over 2 hrs -dark ruddy red with some purple, almost opaque -gorgeous almost mature Burg with pinot fruit, warm earth, touch of oak -med acidity, sappy with some depth, dark fruited, touch of rusticity, tannins starting to resolve, not overly complex -very nice dark fruited '99 Burg in early maturity

Excellent bottle - not closed down like many '99s, but flavors still on the fresh red-fruited side, no tertiary development yet. Just the same it was exceptionally satisfying. It was stuffed and plush, much more expansive on the palate and densely concentrated than the 2010, still packed with tannin but not the sort that dries out the palate - instead it was a fine powder that just seemed to help flesh out the wine and contribute to its billowing presence.
