English translation:cigar box and pencil lead
Explanation:
It is finally here, the long awaited 1999 vintage. Once again like the 1998 vintage, only limited quantities were produced. Deep purple ink colour. A spicy tobacco leaf and cigar box bouquet. Firm tannins, youthful palate. The wine is well-balanced and has good ageing potential of 15 - 20 years.
