I opened my first bottle of 99 Cep a couple nights ago. It was pretty much still on the upswing. The fruit was somewhat in a clunky phase, but very tasty with well integrated tannin.

I won a magnum of this yesterday at a wine tasting and having no experience with this wine was wondering about the drinking window and what to expect.

Very dark purple color. Yikes! Tarry, slightly fumey, mentholated nose of dried cherry, black raspberry, eucalyptus, brown sugar, vanilla bean, stem, and underbrush.

Capo, Thanks for that tidbit. I didn't know that. They did the same thing in 1998. No wonder it is so good. I should have bought more, as I had my employee discount at the time, so paid $21. ]]> Wed, 17 Feb 2010 14:19:25 PST http://www.westcoastwine.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=358332#Post358332 Posted by Tom_In_DC:

The 1990 was my purchase. I had gotten a few of those upon release. Now, the 1985 was a gift. But geez, that would have been released in 1990 or so. I was at least 21 then my friend.
