Drinks with Friends (Pago): Surprisingly still very much alive, and actually got much better after about an hour in the decanter. Strawberry fruit driven with a little bit of leather, pepper and olives to go along with it. Not a fruit driven wine at this point, but still has a slight sweet fruit profile, also a hint of balsamic and cherry. If you have any left I would drink up sooner rather than later...

Light and fruity. Almost tastes bland because we waited to drink it for so long. Opened this up with the 1999 bottle to compare. The cork did not hold up as well but does not tastes corked at all.

Redish-purple color, dark fruit and some hints of chocolate, very smooth, with almost no tannins. Very pleasant to drink
