WTN: Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 1999 (magnum)

What a gorgeous wine! Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 1999 from magnum. Wonderful aroma. A touch meaty, chocolate, and ripe black fruit. Lovely sweet fruit on the palate. Still a bit of tannin, but nice straight from the bottle. Long, long finish. Great balance. Surprised at the 14.1% alcohol as it certainly doesn't feel like it. Last bottle. Wish I had more!

Had this two weeks ago but forgot to post. Bought this at the one and only wine auction held in Manila about a decade ago. Three of us split on a case of this. Strange, but no other bidders went against us, so we got it at a pretty decent price.
Three be the things I shall never attain:
Envy, content, and sufficient champagne.

Nice score!

Those older Mondavi Reserves are beautiful wines, and very age-worthy.

They seem to last forever! I still have one bottle of 1987 that I have to think of a reason to drink soon - I drank previous bottles much too soon. The 92 and 94 were also killer wines.
