{"product_id":"1999-bass-phillip-crown-prince-pinot-noir","title":"1999 Bass Phillip \"Crown Prince\" Pinot Noir","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a fully mature benchmark cool-climate Pinot Noir from one of Australia's most revered cult producers: the \u003cb\u003eBass Phillip Crown Prince Pinot Noir 1999\u003c\/b\u003e. Sourced from the deep volcanic soils of South Gippsland, Victoria, legendary founder Phillip Jones crafted this wine under uncompromising biodynamic principles and ultra-low yields, mirroring the greatest traditional domaines of Burgundy. Resting now at over a quarter-century of age, this rare 1999 library release has evolved into a magnificent tertiary plateau of seamless complexity. The nose opens with an ethereal, haunting bouquet of dried red cherries, dark plums, and candied cranberries, layered with forest floor sous-bois, dried rose petals, leather, damp earth, subtle Asian spices, and game. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, silky, and profoundly savory, featuring fully melted, fine-grained tannins integrated with a lively line of natural cool-climate acidity that carries into a long, fragrant, and mineral-laced finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage:\u003c\/b\u003e 1999\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRegion\/Appellation:\u003c\/b\u003e Gippsland, Victoria, Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Bass Phillip (Phillip Jones Era)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape:\u003c\/b\u003e 100% Pinot Noir\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStyle:\u003c\/b\u003e Fully Mature, Silky, Ethereal, and Earth-Driven Cult Australian Pinot Noir\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerfect for (food pairing):\u003c\/b\u003e Fine cuts of slow-roasted rack of lamb with a delicate herb crust, pan-seared duck breast with a spiced cherry reduction, roasted squab, pan-fried quail, or tender venison loin.
