Inky/purple-colored, with high acidity as well as tannin, the closed 1999 Cornas Vieilles Fontaines exhibits enormous concentration, density, and richness, but patience will be a virtue. This 1999 possesses everything one expects of a full-throttle Cornas - depth, power, virility, abundant blackberry and cassis fruit, and loads of structure and muscle. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2015.
