Brought by a friend to dinner at a restaurant with both our families. Decanted at 3:30 and tasted from 7-8pm mostly. Medium to dark garnet color. Nose has black licorice, blackberry and black cherry notes. Palate echoes the nose with the addition some plum, leathery notes and a little crushed rose petals. Slightly tart and moderately long on the finish. Elegant and reserved. Not sure if this got too much air or not enough. Will check on the remainder tomorrow.

Wine is drying up. Good nose, great color , but now has a short dry finish. Drink up. Has become a pizza wine. For the alcohol content the wine is not hot and very easy to drink but I would not wait too long! But is it just be going through an awkward stage like some bordeaux I have had. I will save a bottle or two to hopefully be surprised. Makes me want to open the 1998 and see what is happening.
