1999 Assamblage
Ripe and open nose with hints of red berries, meat, ripe golden apples and citrus, hints of smoke and toffee.
Medium bodied with quince, golden apples, red apples, grapefruit, vanilla, brioche. Big mid-palate but a touch low acidity making the finish a bit unbalanced and heavy. Nice drink today but not really a keeper.
