The medium to full-bodied 1999 Clos St.-Denis has unbelievable intensity to its sweet, plummy, black fruit, asphalt, and licorice aromas and flavors. This is a dense, powerful, and thick wine that has a foursquare, firm, sturdy, tannic backbone. If the fruit ultimately overcomes its tannins, this wine will be outstanding and potentially exceptional, yet there is cause for concern that it may remain hard and rugged.
