Lovely. Showing just how it should be at this age. Subtle dark red fruit and spice. Purple flowers, some mineral. Very nice and shows the old style of HSS that is nothing like what the wine is today.
This was killer. WOTN for me. Just as it should be showing at this stage. Still nice fruit with old leather saddle and tobacco box. Anise, red autumnal leaves. Palate still had life and vibrancy. Excellent wine. Thanks Rami.

Really showing nicely. Better than the '97 Mondavi Reserve tasted alongside. More elegant and more balance. Lighter bodied but enjoyable.
