The medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Clos St.-Denis was muted aromatically when it was tasted. This is a highly extracted, medium-bodied, blackberry, licorice, and freshly laid asphalt-flavored wine. It is powerful yet has a firm, foursquare structure. As it receives its final aeration prior to bottling I believe this wine will soften and its fruit will become more expansive. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2010+. Bottled under the Baron de la Charriere label and imported by European Cellars, Eric Solomon, New York, NY; tel. (212) 924-4949
