  From magnum pop n pour. Not as fruit forward as other run rig maybe due to age. Some sweetness drank better with some air

  part of 5 vintage vertical featuring 97, 99, 01, 02, 04: ranked #3
  decanted about 1 hour after opening and served 45 minutes after decanting. Lots of coconut butter on the nose, very sweet, some smoke and grilled meats. Tannins have definitely softened. Second pour 2½ hours after opening gave us a wine that was nice and very rounded on the palate, but still with great concentration. The wine was more complex now, with a little more oak and some leather on the nose.

  'Aged Aussies' Dinner (Joseph's Place, Wong Chung Hang, Hong Kong): Semi-transparent ruby colour. Nose is lovely linear violets and bulls blood. Palate is iron-driven blood with a lot of fruit behind it.. black cherry. Massive depth. Quite contemplative. This left me wanting more in the future. It has years ahead of it to evolve and improve. 94+

  This wine is in surprisingly good condition for 23 years of age. Color is on the purple side and still fairly dark. The wine is well integrated; the fruit is present and balances the tannins. Tastes of dark berry fruit with some pepper and mineral. Moderate length on the finish.
