The wine retains a similar lineage, with red and black fruit characters and a texture of velvet. The broad finish lingers well after consumption. The 1999 La Muse can be enjoyed now and through the next decade." - Pierre Seillan, Vigneron Acclaim 96 points - The Wine Advocate, Robert Parker, August 2002 "Possibly the wine of the vintage, the terrific opaque blue-purple colored wine offers up gorgeous aromas of espresso, melted caramel, black cherry jam, tobacco, and flowers. It reveals an unctuous texture (amazing for a 1999) as well as a huge palate impact, yet great balance, purity, and overall harmony. This prodigious effort will be drinkable young, yet last for 20-25 years. I believe this is the same wine, with just a slight adjustment in the blend, that I referred to as the 1999 Merlot in issue #132."
