  September 4, 2014 - As unusual as a great bargain in Bordeaux! Mature red Bdx that pulls all of our strings.
  
  Deep garnet, towards rusty, colour.
  The nose is open for business and has a straight-forward Bdx constitution that is enough complex to command you to sniff a little extra of the pleasures on display: plums, dried rose petals on the surface and dark fruits, under growth, humus, cedar and sumi ink on the lower planes. Fur was a new one for me.
  In the mouth there are also aromas that go towards mint. The wine is elegant yet distinct and let us really chew on the fine Bdx earth qualities. Still plenty of life with M++ tannins and M+ acids. Some vibrant red fruits and great length made this tonight's best wine.
  Ready to go, and will stay on top for at least 5 more years.
  The host opened a complimentary btl to let us really celebrate the pleasurable tasting with a Swede, some French, a Japanes, two French and two Swiss persons. We had a magical evening in the hotel cellar.
  
  Tasting in the cellars of Coeur de Bordeaux.

  though the wine was uncorked just prior to consumption - it was quite enjoyable.

  January 13, 2011 - A still agree with my first note even though the oak seemed to be less toasted this time. The bouquet is the most beautiful part. And on the palate the wine is also very ok and offering good fruit juice, acidity and some complexity For a 1999 Lalande de Pomerol this is a great effort, because many 1999 left bank classified wines are further in their stage of development already.
