Saturday, October 26, 2019 - 1999 Piedmont Retrospective (Brooklyn): 1999 Retrospective in Brooklyn

Double decanted in the AM. Drunk over several hours.

Predominantly balsamic, more medicine cabinet on the nose, with ripe cherry fruit, rose perfume, much like the 89 but a little less profound on the nose. There was a little VA that blows off then roses, tar, all, with a richness and forwardness to the nose and on the palate, rich and ripe, yet holding it together very well. This is painted in a broader stroke than most of the producers tonight, and has little wildness to it, but it works and adds complexity to me. More cherry fruit with sap and breadth, but with excellent acidity to balance it all. Expansive, rich, forward and powerful, could have easily been poured along the Serralunga wines. Improve quite a bit over the night gaining focus. Delicious.
