Dark red color. Medium nose of red fruits, herbs, and pepper. Very nicely extracted. Good fresh fruit and tons of oak, but the oak is reasonably integrated. Very peppery. Nice lingering finish. Wonderful Zin, which seems a good candidate for short term cellaring.

Dark red color, rich expressive nose of red and black fruits as well as spice. Much more fresher in taste than the 96 WGR. Lively raspberries on the palate with a slightly peppery finish. Very nice.

Very high acid throughout. Light body fruit, mature. Short, tough finish. Lackluster enjoyment at most.
