1999 Mommessin Clos de Tart Grand Cru

We had this 1999 Mommessin Clos de Tart Grand Cru with our friends as part of Beserker Frank Murray III "Empty My Wallet Challenge". It's very nice when you can drink a good Burgundy and know that it is going to a great cause, in this case, to help stop domestic violence. My husband made roast pork loin with fennel and green olives to pair with the Burgundy.
Here is my husband's excellent tasting notes on this wine:
This 750mL bottle was pulled from cool storage 24 hrs ahead of drinking and stood upright on the kitchen counter. About 2 hrs ahead of dinner I pulled the cork and had a taste. Clearly it was going to need a little air in a decanter before serving. Within 20 minutes of the dinner course I poured it into a decanter and swirled lightly. The cork had a narrow wine soil band from the wine side. In the glass the clean wine color is a medium dark garnet with light bricking at the edges. The aroma had a light floral and leather mix that developed more fully after 1 hr. In the mouth the dark raspberry and sweet cherry fruit integrated well with the acidity and tannins. The tannins were not completely softened at this time. This was a very nice and enjoyable wine that will continue to get better with time as it has the fruit to go on for 5-10 more years. My two remaining soldiers from this vintage will continue to be stored for that latter timeframe. I'm thankful that our friends could make it to dinner and share the food and wine with us....Cheers, Gary
