The nose is deep and complex, offering aromas of stewed black fruit, tobacco, cloves, and subtle peppery spice. On the palate, the attack is fresh, with ripe fruit and a refined mineral edge. The balanced acidity enhances the wine’s precision, while the tannic structure remains smooth and well-integrated, leading into a long, elegant finish. This vintage comprises 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, and 4% Cabernet Franc. It has matured gracefully and is expected to continue evolving for a few more years.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-end=\"1051\" data-start=\"1036\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1049\" data-start=\"1036\"\u003eAccolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul data-end=\"1304\" data-start=\"1052\"\u003e\r\n\u003cli data-end=\"1100\" data-start=\"1052\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1087\" data-start=\"1054\"\u003eRobert Parker’s Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 93 points\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli data-end=\"1134\" data-start=\"1101\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1121\" data-start=\"1103\"\u003eWine Spectator\u003c\/strong\u003e: 93 points\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli data-end=\"1168\" data-start=\"1135\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1155\" data-start=\"1137\"\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e: 93 points\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli data-end=\"1208\" data-start=\"1169\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1195\" data-start=\"1171\"\u003eVinous (Neal Martin)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 92 points\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli data-end=\"1236\" data-start=\"1209\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1223\" data-start=\"1211\"\u003eDecanter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 91 points\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli data-end=\"1271\" data-start=\"1237\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1258\" data-start=\"1239\"\u003eWine Enthusiast\u003c\/strong\u003e: 92 points\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli data-end=\"1304\" data-start=\"1272\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1293\" data-start=\"1274\"\u003eJancis Robinson\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17.5\/20\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-end=\"1360\" data-start=\"1306\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1322\" data-start=\"1306\"\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1325\" data-start=\"1322\"\u003eThis wine pairs exquisitely with:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul data-end=\"1486\" data-start=\"1361\"\u003e\r\n\u003cli data-end=\"1390\" data-start=\"1361\"\u003eHerb-crusted rack of lamb\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli data-end=\"1415\" data-start=\"1391\"\u003eGrilled ribeye steak\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli data-end=\"1441\" data-start=\"1416\"\u003eWild mushroom risotto\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli data-end=\"1486\" data-start=\"1442\"\u003eAged hard cheeses like Comté or Manchego\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-end=\"1590\" data-start=\"1488\"\u003eThese pairings enhance the wine’s depth and complexity, creating an unforgettable dining experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-end=\"2123\" data-start=\"1592\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1611\" data-start=\"1592\"\u003eVintage Quality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1614\" data-start=\"1611\"\u003eThe 1999 vintage in Bordeaux experienced a warm spring and summer, with above-average temperatures. While July and August saw some rainstorms, fine weather returned in late August, allowing the grapes to ripen fully. The harvest yielded fruit with high potential alcohol and a perfect balance of sugar and acidity. Anthocyan levels in some Merlot parcels were notably high, contributing to the deep color and longevity of the wine. The result is a structured and refined vintage that has aged with elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"300464 - Nobilis Wine Importers Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48347299021012,"sku":"ME-103-D","price":1368.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7645\/6404\/files\/Chateau-Mouton-Rothschild-1999.jpg?v=1784766390","url":"https:\/\/borderlinebottles.ca\/products\/chateau-mouton-rothschild-1999","provider":"Borderline Bottles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
