  Pop and pour to serve. With the perception that 99 red including the DRCs being dense and brooding, the 99 La Tache is completely different with its ethereality and purity. It blossomed right out of the gate with darkish red fruit, inner perfume, spice and wild flowers. So much class and zen. The level of complexity was at another level, which made the excellent 99 DRC Richebourg so shy on the side.

  From bottles out of the Yalumba museum cellar. The first bottle was brilliant, the second was even better. Still almost primary, with its core of intense cherry fruit. There’s sandalwood, aniseed, Hoisin and rose petals with air. It is velvety but oh so powerful and balance is exquisite. The finish drives on and expands. Quite simply, one of the greatest wines ever made.

  Expressive nose displaying unbelievably concentrated black fruit, blackberry concentrate, blackberry liqueur, black cherry, licorice, Vosne spice, oolong tea, rose, dark spices and limestone. The stem note is masked by concentrated fruit. Exceptional concentration, layers upon layers of intense black fruit, rich and opulent but also beautifully detailed and harmonious, perfecta mount of acidity and mineral, and a long perfectly ripe black fruit driven finish with licorice and rose at the end. This remains incredibly youthful. It can easily improve for a few more decades, i.e. gaining sous bois and strong Chinese medicinal cabinet.

  "Casual DRC BYO": 04857/16640. Four years later, this legend has barely aged a day. Immediately captivating with its completeness and largeness, yet so delicate without giving out its full self, just purity of red and dark fruit under the enormous disguise. How many more decades? Again, candidate for perfection, but still not there yet in terms of its full potential pleasure. 99-100

  Restrained fruit, with more earthy notes to this bottle. Emerging dark spice. Very nice, if still young.
