1999 Wine and Port Vintage

A 1999 wine from Italy, Bordeaux or Portugal will make a perfect 25 year old wine gift.
The Barolos and Barbarescos are very good and are reminiscent of the 95s in style and structure. 1999 was the third top vintage in a row in Tuscany. Despite the wet weather in most of Italy, the region remained hot and dry for most of the growing season, although there was intermittent rain during the harvest. Those who picked before the September rains have produced deeply coloured wines that are brimming with rich, ripe fruits.
Bordeaux: A very good vintage that produced low acidity, ripe wines which have matured quickly and are drinkable now. However, they should last for years to come. The weather during the growing and harvest season was excessively wet and hot and in earlier times could have been disastrous. However, those Chateau that adopted modern selection and processing techniques produced wines of good quality. Those that did not fared less well, a discrepancy reflected in the wide variation in quality across the region.
Portugal: 1999 was not a general declaration of vintage, however some vineyards produced small quantities of outstanding single quinta wines. These make a great 25 year old wine gift for a birthday or anniversary.

Bodegas Toro Albalá
POLEY PALO CORTADO "En Rama", 25 Year Old
50cl Bottle
***93 Points - Robert Parker 's Wine Advocate***
Palo Cortado is a rare type of "sherry-style" wine that is initially aged under flor to become a fino or amontillado, but inexplicably loses its veil of flor and begins aging oxidatively as an oloroso. The result is a wine with some of the richness of oloroso and some of the crispness of amontillado.
Tasting Notes Amber colour with copper and greenish reflections. Very intense aroma with tobacco leaves, wood and spices like pepper and clove aromas, notes of citric peel and fine pastries. Nuts like walnut or hazelnut nuances. On the palate it is dry, but mouth-filling, well-defined acidity that disappears to leave room for a saline sensation. …

Chateau Canon la Gaffeliere, 1999
Grand Cru Classe St Emilion, Bordeaux
** 92 Points- RobertParker.com **
Canon La Gaffeliere’s is an outstanding 1999 vintage Bordeaux wine. Robert Parker – 92
The opaque purple-colored 1999 is a strong effort for this vintage. It displays a sweet nose of pain grille, smoke, meats, graphite, blackberry, and cassis liqueur. The wine is full-bodied, deep, powerful, and rich, with sweet tannin and low acidity. This is a blockbuster effort for a delicate vintage such as 1999. [30/04/2002]
Vinous – 90
Good medium ruby. Aromas of plum, currant, game and leather. Silky-sweet and aromatic in the mouth, with lovely vinosity to frame the expressive flavors of roasted plum, currant, black cherry, minerals and dark chocolate. …

Chateau Cos d'Estournel, 1999
St Estephe, 2nd Growth Classification, Bordeaux
This has a ripe strawberry, blackberry almost floral nose although there is a slight ephemeral quality to it. Lacks the dimension of say the ’90 or the ’00. Traits of raspberry, scorched earth and a touch of cedar/mint emerging with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied, good acidity, quite rounded and harmonious

Chateau d'Yquem, 1999
Sauternes 1er Cru Classe
Half Bottle (37.5cl)
Yquem is without doubt, one of the world's finest sweet wine producers, of whom Robert Parker comments: "There is no other wine in the world like it, and there is no other luxury wine that can possibly justify its price as much as Yquem. The remarkable amount of painstaking labor necessary to produce the nectar known as Yquem is almost impossible to comprehend."
Reviews: A golden, straw hue. The nose is predictable and linear compared to the other Yquem's that I have tasted. White flowers, acacia, rather like a sweet Auslese! The palate is lively, rich, moderate acidity.

Chateau Gazin, 1999
Pomerol, Bordeaux
Gazin wines are a very typical product of the Pomerol terroir. Their lavish richness offers a wide aromatic range of black and red fruits which harmonises with their intense purple or garnet colour. The 1999 has a nose of spices,, truffles, undergrowth and gamey scents. The taste is characterised by their silky tannins, their balance and concentration, enhanced by a delicate oaky note.
Gazin was originally a farm belonging to the Knights Hospitallers of St. John in the Middle Ages, it was bought in 1772 by the Feuilhade family, one of the pioneers of the local viticultural revolution, when production of quality wine was favoured over cultivating cereal, according to Professor Henri Enjalbert. …

Chateau Laforge, 1999
St Emilion Grand Cru Classe, Bordeaux
From another of the properties of cult/boutique winemaker Jonathan Malthus, the 1999 Laforge is largely dominated by its unfiltered, old vine Merlot component. With dark chocolate, raspberry and espresso notes, sweet cassis, loads of earth, spice, and medium to full body, this is an attractive, bigger-than-usual style for Laforge, with some tannins still to resolve. It can be drunk now or cellared for another 10-15 years." (Robert Parker- 2015)The Wine Advocate

Chateau Leoville Poyferre, 1999
St Julien 2me Cru Classe, Bordeaux *** 93 Points - Robert Parker ***
*** 93 Points - Robert Parker ***
Tasted at the 1999 horizontal at Bordeaux Index. One of my favourite ‘99s, this has a very lifted, well-defined nose that eschews the more opulent bouquet that Didier sometimes conjures. Blackberry, cedar, raspberry leaf, pencil shavings. The palate is medium-bodied, not quite as ebullient as the bottle in Bordeaux last year, but it has great vivacity and purity towards the finish. Sappy blackberry, boysenberry and strawberry with a touch of Asian spice. Excellent. Drink now-2025. Tasted June 2009, Neal Martin, RobertParker.com, July 2009

Clos de L'Oratoire, 1999
St Emilion Grand Cru Classe, Bordeaux
90 Points - Vinous
The 1999 Clos de l'Oratoire from St.-Emilion is one of the stars of the vintage. The wine exhibits aromas of new saddle leather, damp earth, blackberries, incense, cassis, and toast. An intriguing tapenade note emerges with airing. It is full-bodied, with sweet tannin, low acidity, and impressive concentration.
Clos de l’Oratoire, located on Saint-Emilion's northeast slope, has 13 hectares of vines. The terroir of Fronsac molasse, consisting of a layer of sandy soil and a clay subsoil, is ideally suited to Merlot (80% of the vines).
Meticulous work is done all year long to maintain quality in the vineyard. …
