"The 1999 Monte Bello is a classic vintage of this superb cabernet sauvignon, with a deep and nascently complex personality, plenty of structure and superb balance for long-term cellaring. The deep and classic nose wafts from the glass in a blend of cassis, cigar smoke, stony soil tones, a discreet and youthful touch of sweet bell pepper, tobacco leaf and a lovely framing of American oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, tightly-knit and sweet to the core, with ripe tannins, outstanding focus and grip, ripe tannins and a very long, perfectly balanced and superb finish. All this excellent vintage of Monte Bello needs is a bit more time."
