Chateau Ste. Michelle Merlot 1999

Columbia Valley, Washington, United StatesOpen vanilla, ripe plum and cherry fruit with smoky, waxy green bean notes. A leaner style with drier tannins showing earthier, cedar, tobacco and mocha flavours with only a dusting of smoky black cherry in the finish. Its moderately high tannins and flavours are on the earthy side. Will need three to five years to come around.Tasted: 01 March 2002Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
