Think this bottle is 1999 release, no information over the blended vintages, but Lot 006/99, bottle number 2831, out of 14.400 filled, high shoulder, pnp in the glass the colour is like a young wine, deep purple, intense fresh black fruit nose, spices, on the palate an energetic mouthfeel, very young showing, cassis marmelade with very little sugar, good harmony, finesse rules, persistent flow with still a lot of lively but very integrated acid, herbs, multilayered very convincing finish, can be enjoyed from now on with some slow ox, but miles away from decline, great bottle, ****(*?), 94-96(+)
