99 rosemount traditional

1999 Rosemount Traditional ($19.99) - if i recall, this bordeaux blend is about 70% cabernet sauvignon, 20% merlot, and 10% petite verdot. decanted for an hour prior. can't give detailed notes since i was drinking this out on a pier on the bay last night, but the nice nose even cut through the salt air. great flavors, solid finish, and picked up in complexity and intensity with another hour or so in decanter. an elegant wine with fine tannins. will put an '05 timer on my second (and last) bottle. 91 pts.
