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.
