🏰The 1999 Mommessin Clos de Tart Grand Cru is hailed as an outstanding and potentially exceptional vintage, showcasing a 【gorgeous nose of rich plums, sweet black cherries, candied blueberries, and loads of spices】. Critics note its medium to full-bodied, opulent, lush, deep, and fresh character, with a velvety texture and flavors of blueberries, red cherries, and blackberries that burst in the mouth. The fruit is now evolving, with attractive black pepper, bay leaf, and Earl Grey tea notes emerging. This wine is still very much on the way up and will require most of the next decade to reach its peak. 🍴 Cantonese food pairing: 燒鵝 (Roast Goose), 紅燒乳鴿 (Braised Squab), 羊腩煲 (Lamb Brisket Hot Pot), 柱侯牛腩 (Braised Beef Brisket with Chu Hou Sauce). 🥂 fit for event: An ideal choice for a sophisticated dinner party, a special anniversary, or a serious tasting among Burgundy enthusiasts. It's a wine that commands attention and rewards patience. Serving suggestion: For a 1999 vintage, expect some sediment. Decant gently for 1-2 hours to allow the wine to open up and reveal its full complexity. Ensure the bottle has been stored upright for at least 24 hours before decanting. Check the cork carefully upon opening, as older vintages can have fragile corks.
