The 1999 Lafaurie-Peyraguey is a step up from the 1998

with soft tannins and a plummy

all wrapped in an impressively long and superbly complex finish that flashes focused power

There is just enough reduction to mask the underlying fruit but not the floral and spice nuances

The body is full and brooding confirming the tannins are built for years to come

Anne Gros, Chambolle Musigny Combe d'Orveau other_regions_australia The 1999 Lafaurie-Peyraguey is a(50% new oak). This displayed both fairly strong toast and heavy reduction last year from barrel and while the toast is almost completely gone, there is still a trace of reduction which leads to somber, backward and rich middle weight flavors that possess good volume and fine length with a mouth coating backend. There is good freshness and this is relatively fine for the vintage. I would suggest decanting it first. 87 2008+
