  Mature but not falling over soon, the nose is great, dark cherry and spice, quite sexy, the palate doesn’t live up to that promise and has good balance but maybe a bit soft.

  Fully mature. Pretty dark fruits, leather, a little hint of varnish, and sandalwood on the nose. Tannins are mostly resolved though the fruit is threatening to dry out. I’d drink now. Drunk with “Gaston” stew for my father’s 85th birthday. Last bottle and all have been very good.

  Shows considerable age in the nose with dried mature fruit, cooked spiced, forest floor and mushrooms. Still nice acidity to keep the wine fresh, nicely balanced with the fruit and the smooth but persistent tannins. Should be enjoyed now. Disappoint medium minus finish

  Very good, still loads of fruit, some leather. Massive tannin. Good Acidity. Would drink now as think will dry out in a year or so.

  Lovely SuperTuscan produced only in standout vintages. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese (roughly 70% and 30%, respectively) is well-balanced, and this 1999 bottle was in great shape and a pleasure to drink now.
  
  Earthy notes and tobacco from the Cabernet stand out, with plenty of fruit left but tannins very subdued. Very silky.
  
  Decanted for an hour and enjoyed with a bolognese dinner. I wouldn't hold on to this wine much longer, it has aged well but is definitely ready to drink.
  
  Cellar storage conditions: 9/10
