1999 Joseph Phelps Insignia[California]
[Bordeaux/Meritage-style blend]
Posted by Mike P. on 2004-03-07 08:01:57 [Show TN in Text Format]
Chateau/Producer:Joseph Phelps
Wine Name:Insignia
Region:Napa Valley
Wine Score:95
Notes:Inky color; complex herbal notes; very young; not as extracted as the 97; tannins not balanced with flavor but the structure implies a backward wine that promises great beauty in time. In comparison to the 97, I'd say the 97 is drinkable right now; the 99 definitely needs more time and will probably put the 97 to shame after a few years.
Tasting Date:2003-11-20
Varietal:Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc
Additional Notes:This is from a special Insignia vertical wine tasting at Disneyworld/Epcot during their "Food and Wine Experience".
