Thursday, May 21, 2020 - Decanted for 3 hours. As noted below a fair bit of funk upfront but this calms with time in the glass. Bright red fruit and tons of plum with a solid core of minerality. Not super complex but a nice claret just entering it's drinking window. Finishes with some dusty textured tannins although I've noticed this a few times recently with the '99's. Overall a classicly styled wine in a classic vintage. Reminds me of what a deal this wine was before they shifted to the mordern end of the spectrum.
