Tasted from magnum and disgorged in 2015 with a dosage of 10 grams per liter, the 1999 Rare Millésime is now fully mature, offering a complex bouquet of candied pear, mango, buttered toast and roasted pineapple with a gentle reductive nuance. The palate is full-bodied, broad-shouldered and textural, with a vibrant core enlivened by pillowy mousse and succulent yet lively acidity, concluding with a long, toasty finish. As good as 1999 gets—and, unsurprisingly, softer than the 2002—it represents a considerable effort from a rather challenging vintage marked by a combination of warmth and rain, including rainfall just prior to harvest, which, when excessive, is never welcome at the close of a season under pressure.

I have tasted two magnums of this wine; one displayed variation attributable to differences in cork performance and would not merit the same note or score as the example described here.
