WINE =======: 1999 Joseph Phelps Insignia
Tasting Date: 2003-11-20
Varietal    : Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc
Score       : 95
Region      : Napa Valley

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.

Additional Notes
----------------
This is from a special Insignia vertical wine tasting at Disneyworld/Epcot
during their "Food and Wine Experience".
