Tasting notes
Château La Croix is a distinguished estate in Bordeaux, crafting wines that capture the essence of the region. The 1999 vintage, featuring primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, is a testament to Bordeaux's classic style. This wine, in particular, has gained allure with age, offering a unique glimpse into the past.
In Volume 35 of 'Drops of God', this wine is highlighted as something truly special. Eri had entrusted it to Monopole for a moment with Sei, and it's renowned for receiving a perfect score from a famous critic. It’s like a fleeting dream, beautiful yet ephemeral, capturing the imagination like a legend.
Pour it into a glass, and you'll notice a deep garnet color with a faint orange hue at the rim, indicative of its age. The aroma is open, revealing layers of matured cassis, black cherry, and dried figs. You'll also find hints of dried herbs and tobacco, adding to its complexity.
On the palate, it greets you with a mellow attack and a touch of fruit sweetness. The acidity is lively, while the tannins have evolved into a silky texture, seamlessly integrated. The finish is long, leaving a lasting impression. This is a wine to savor on a special evening, taking your time to enjoy its depth and character.
