Drank my last bottle with friends, maybe it was the good company but this bottle drank as well as my prior bottle in 2011. I would still say drink sooner than later. The power is gone, that's OK with me, and whats left is an elegant well balanced mature wine.

We had a wonderful dinner with friends and opened 1998-2002 Chimney Rock Elevage wines. While this wine was still lovely, it has passed its prime. Very soft in the nose, no tannins left. But after about 30 minutes, the fruit is pretty much gone. It seems like the wines are being made to drink on release and not age muich.

Very nice. Ready to drink and likely over the hill a bit - beginning to thin out a little.
