1999 Domaine Du Pegau Cuvee Reservee
Opened and immediately splashed into Bordeaux type stemware. Translucent garnet, not particularly expressive nose, but Oh-So-Pegau. Tobacco notes ( some might say herbaceous) initially followed by smoky meat with other things in the background - mostly liquorice……mmmm …..medium bodied and rather simple on the palate, collapsed a bit.….reminded me of the 2002…is this right? Aggressive finish. Purchased recently from an impeccable source, I have no idea what ‘release’ of 1999 this is….however, it is not the splendid 99 that I remember tasting 2 years ago. Odd. Going through a dumb phase?
