The limited production 1999 Merlot Graf de la Tour was barrique-aged for two years. Its opaque purple color is accompanied by scents of berry fruit, chocolate, and mocha. With outstanding fruit, this opulent, medium to full-bodied Merlot may merit a 90 point score after several more years of aging. It should keep for 10-12 years.Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel. (703) 684-0900
