1999 Clos du Bois Marlstone

[winoweenie]

If my memory serves corretly the 1st vintage in 75 was from the Eisele vineyard then they started blending with other sourced and the best of their vineyards for this marvelous proprietary wine. Over the years since inception I can't think of another bottling that has produced more outstanding wines, with longevity and quality, than any other vineyard I know of in Napa and the wines have shown their pedigree in tasting after tasting. Looking back since 75,(which E Robert P once stated that if he was to be stranded on an island for the rest of his life and got his choice of one wine he would choose the 75 Insignia) I csn only personally think of one vintage that I considered average 15 above average and the rest either outstanding or classic. But that's just IMHO. WW
