Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red 1999 - Bt | VNS94

HK$2,200.00

Bt (750ml)

Stock Location: HK

Tasting note

Bright, full medium ruby. Subdued but highly complex nose melds black raspberry, blueberry, plum, licorice, mocha, leather and tar. Offers compelling sweetness and density, with sharply focused flavors of black fruits, minerals and roast coffee, but comes across as less expressive today than the merlot, and still tight on the back half. But a wine of outstanding breadth and persistence, deeper and sweeter than the 2000. Tannins are substantial but quite fine.

Score: 94
