Remizieres, Hermitage Emilie Vintage:1999 there is the fruit intensity

there is the fruit intensity to carry off this winemaking style

with the richness nicely held in check by bitter pithy acidity and mineral hints

which mitigates hydric stress and should (in theory) lead to smoother tannins

These qualities bode very well for the future evolution of this vintage that will undoubtedly soften and flesh out with more time in the bottle

The spicy quality lingers endlessly

Medium full bodied, with good energy, the wine has softened and filled out. If you are sitting on any bottles, there is no need to wait for further development.
