This was our last 1999 Chateauneuf, and boy was it good. The frangrance was like soft perfume, and the taste was more clean than a lot of Chateauneufs that tend to have a gravelly/earthy taste. There was a lot of fine precipitate at the bottom of the bottle, so be very careful when pouring this.

Somehow this bottle was better than the one we tasted a year ago. I'm not sure if that is because the other bottle was somehow flawed or not.

This is a very good Pinor Noir. The fragrance is very nice, and the taste is smooth, with deep dark berry flavors, and a clean finish.
