Roi de P, St. Emillion 1999

This is a top cru by Richard Dubois, a rather small producer in St. Emillion.  The wine was showing well with velvety texture of soft tannins.  Plum is the dominant fruit I could distinguish..  It doesn't show its age at all with no secondary flavors to be noticeable.  It would be interesting to taste it again in about 5-6 years to see how it develops.  This is pretty expensive wine going for about $80 dollars in US retail.  If you have it,  I would recommend to hold it for another 5-6 years, if you don't have it, don't buy it. There are better things you can do with $ 80 dollars.
