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 "The terrific opaque blue purple colored 1999 La Muse 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."
