  Dense red cherry, clay, smoky, surprisingly still some oak. Fullish on the palate, ripe and flattering but balanced but a nice piquancy imparted by the 96 acidity. This fades over time, so perhaps best to seize the day. 93-94

  Tasted blind, this wine had a medium red center and light red rims. The medium+ intensity nose generated violet, black cherry, annise, and mineral notes. Later, I detected some limes!
  
  I found it easy to be seduced by the silky texture of this wine. It was gorgeously integrated with strong acidity and a long finish.
  
  To my mind, this wine was still quite young and needs some time to develop further nuance. It was somewhat controversial due to its strong "1996" acidity. I enjoyed its "cut" and felt it would have been stunning with food. I would not touch this for at least 5-10 years at which point it could have upside.
