The 1999 Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape is a profoundly rich= , concentrated, classic vin de garde. Made from 30% Grenache, 30% Mourvedr= e, 10% Syrah, 10% Counoise, and the remainder a blend of other varietals, i= t is one of the blackest, most opaque-colored Beaucastels of the last decad= e. The bouquet offers aromas of licorice, roasted meats, black cherry and = blackberry fruit, and a truffle-like earthy note. Broodingly backward, for= midable endowed, powerful, and extremely tannic, it will require 8-10 years= of cellaring, and should age effortlessly for three decades or more. Fran= cois Perrin compares it to the thrilling 1990, but at this stage, it appear= s to me to be more structured and closed than the 1990 was at a similar age= . In any event, it is a great wine, but readers older than 55 should think= twice before investing in such a backward vintage."Have your own tasting n= otes?

I= t is made from 80% Roussanne and 20% Grenache Blanc, fermented in 80% cuves= and 20% barrels, of which 10% are new, and bottled with minimal clarificat= ion. Like a top Hermitage, the Perrins subscribe to the theory (and I tend= to agree) that this is a wine to drink during its first 2-4 years of life,= or forget it for at least a decade. It takes on an oxidized mid-life cris= is between 5-10 years of age, and re-emerges as a completely different anim= al around age ten. Of course, each vintage has its own track record, but i= t is a fascinating wine to drink young, as well as an impressive one to hav= e after ten years. The light gold-colored 1999 reveals intense marmalade a= nd rose petal, honeyed richness with a touch of spice and toast. Thick and= unctuously-textured, but supported by excellent acidity, it can be drunk o= ver the next 4! -5 years, and then ignored for a decade. It will keep for = 20 years."Have your own tasting notes?

"Most of Robert Foley's debut 1998 Claret perished in a warehouse fire a ye= ar ago, so he is calling this wine his second first-release. The winemaker = for Pride Mountain Vineyards made a delicious 1998 vintage, but due to its = loss, I never printed a formal review. As only a few bottles survived the f= ire, the 1999 vintage will be the first wine people taste and it's a dandy.= Made from grapes grown at Pride, it's a sleek, plush, tightly focused wine= , loaded with spicy herb-laced cherry, plum and currant fruit flavors, and = showing a long, persistent finish. The wine is a blend of Cabernet and Merl= ot, chosen from the best lots of wine made from Pride Mountain Vineyard." -= James Laube - Wine Spectator"Have your own tasting notes?
