Joseph Phelps Insignia--Vintage 1999 In original carton Tasting note: There are 15,000 cases of the 1999 Insignia, a blend of 71 Cabernet Sauvignon, 21 Merlot, 6 Petit Verdot, 1 Cabernet Franc, and 1 Malbec. The core of this offering tends to come from Rutherford-grown fruit. The saturated dense purple-coloured 1999 offers a tight but promising nose of incense, spice box, black fruits, and vanilla. This elegant, stylish, and medium to full-bodied offering is made in a more French-like, finesse style than such blockbusters as 1997, 1996, 1995, and 1994. Give it 3-4 years of cellaring and consume it over the following 15-18. Robert Parker Wine Advocate # 142 Aug 2002
