Nice dark tawny color, almost opaque. Notes of black cherry, dried brush, some iron and some old wood. Nice mouth feel with fruit still present but slightly faded, matched with solid acidity and structure. Needed food as a compliment (homemade pasta and sauce) to show its best.

Tawny and murky. Nice scents in the nose. Notes of black cherry, violets, smoked meat and herbs. Great balance in the mouth. At peak and drinking well.

Slightly past peak, but still some tannins and acidity with some strawberry, plum and floral notes. Not bad. But better on own than with food.

Had 2 bottles and both were dead. So sad for a 99 reserva. Just didn’t last the test of time.

Fuligni 1999 is a masterpiece; youthful, with layers of black fruit, smoked meat, tobacco.
