Very impressed. Much more masculine than I would have thought. Drank beautifully over a long lunch. Still could go a few more years but don't know it would improve.

Fairly dark fruit, spices and a bit of those autumn leaves. Quite silky, but on a solid frame. I think this could go on drinking well for quite some time. Decent weight and length, but nothing exceptional.

So sorry this was my last bottle. Had more structure and vibrancy at this point than i expected, with lovely fruit, good acidity and enough backbone to remind you this was Burgundy. Proof yet again that '99 was a simply brilliant vintage, at least it was for me. Would love to find more by this Bertagna simply to compare.

still quite bright cherry nose with hints of flowers and spice. Fairly dense and lush on palate, with good acidity and noticeable backbone/structure. A bit deeper an more brooding overall than I would av expected, with dark fruit and smoke.

Good note by AJnate, but this bottle only held there for about 20 minutes before fading.
