12/24/2007: Beautiful big purple wine. The nose is raisins, vanilla, and plumbs and not-unpleasant alcohol. Very full bodided, unctuous, with layers of dark fruit, chocolate, licorice and more. The finish lasts and lasts with fruit and more fruit and soft tannins. Shhould last for a couple of decades.

This is drinking great now. No alcohol nose or heat anymore. Chocolate covered cherries. On the sweet side and simply yummy.

As commemorative as 1999 was in Napa, the Shafer Port made this year shine. It was as smooth and lush as expected; has stood the test of time.

Some alcohol on the nose. Carmel covered cherries with a smooth but short finish.
