Decanted briefly off its sediment and enjoyed over an hour with dinner. Aromas of mint, eucalyptus and currants. Medium-bodied, the tannins have softened nicely and left red fruit, plum and mint flavors. There's a slight hollowness on the palate which fills out with dinner. Adds a worn saddle leather note as it sits. 89-90 pts. Drink now.

Shows rather leafy to the nose. Palate is holding together. Med/- tannin, but the fruit has faded away.

Excellent, but we drank it way to young. The tannins were still very firm and the wine was very tight. Last tasted mid-2002.
