This dark ruby/purple-colored 1999 is an elegant, soft, tobacco-infused, red currant and cherry-flavored effort. It is sweet and expansive on the attack, sexy, complex, earthy, and long. Consume this medium-weight Graves during its first 6-10 years of life. It is an impressive 1999. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2012. - Robert Parker 2002 -
