a cool-climate year

but the previous exuberance and intensity have faded slightly

with almond and vanilla infusing the orange and marmalade scents

then this would undoubtedly be one of my picks

Penfolds Grange - 1999 (750ml) Graves and Pessac-Leognan Wine Spectator - 94 pointsDense ruby purple to the edge, with a bouquet of blackberries, mulberries, and floral like aromas, and medium to full body, the 1999 has an acid punch, but also tremendous layers of fruit and extract. Not massive, but elegant and nicely layered, it requires another 2 3 years of cellaring, and should last for 12 15 years. Robert Parker 92 points
