Nose
Indulgent aromas of cassis and white pepper with underlying notes of rich maple highlight the nose.
Palate
Sweet cherry, dense blue fruit, and vanilla bean flavors follow on the palate with rich, integrated tannins providing structure and overall balance on the long finish.
Aging
24 months, 500-L American oak puncheons
Appearance
Big and ripe, the purple hue of the 1999 Cask speaks to great extraction of color from exceptionally ripe, powerful grapes.
