| Chateau/Producer: | Clos du Bois Briarcrest | | Country: | USA | | Region: | Sonoma | | Wine Score: | 86 | | Notes: | This '99 vintage is very pleasant, but it is lacking somewhat in the firmness and depth for which Briarcrest has become known. It still has the grace and texture that we have enjoyed in past vintages and it still retains its distinctive Bordeaux style. ..... Inherent with many wines of the 1999 vintage, it's light to medium-bodied and it doesn't have the same intensity in the fruit that we have come to expect from this label. The bright berry flavors in the taste of this wine are very typical of the '99 vintage. The tannins are a little sharp initially, but with food they quickly soften up. | | Tasting Date: | 2004-01-22 |
