  Broke out this beautiful 1997 at the end of dry January - great choice - as this beauty is still drinking awesome. Elegant nose picking up white pepper, provençal herbs - surprising energy and mid palate berry punch with integrated tannins kicking in leading to a happy long, long finish.

  The last of the case of mixed-vintage library releases that I bought after the '08 market crash. I will really miss these, because the wine was still alive and fresh, but clearly aged with lovely secondary flavors.

  Coravin-ed two samples, but that was a waste because it turned out to be badly corked. Was going to do side by side with 1995, which was still pretty nice though fading.
