Another one from KK aging glacially. Lush fruit yet. Lovely fruit here yet without the secondary notes to give it real complexity. There is enough sweetness off the fruit due to the age to make it decent character. Still a value from auctions.

Nose: Soft blackberry, licorice and leather. Palate: Blackberry, spice and firm yet balanced tannins. Good acidity levels are well proportioned to the fruit. This wine is at peak. Very nice.

Aged very nicely, this was an exceptional bottle of wine. I expected the Merlot to dominate unfavorably, but the Bordeaux blend was perfect.

Dinner Party (My Place): Quite restrained and elegant, but done very well. Excellent balance, a nice break from many over-the-top CA wines.
