Dujacfest II (Café Centro): This is certainly a vintage that gets no respect, but you wouldn't know it from the performance of this bottle. There is certainly nothing frail about this, and while the acidity may be ever-so-slightly on the shrill side, there is real personality to this, with an evolved gamey scent, savory/brothy flavors, and still plenty of ripe fruit.

Mid depth with some bricking. Caramel and spice on the nose. Sweet mouth feel - quite rich, and a little bit hot. Nice spice, caramel and mature pinot fruit. Good length - with no astringency. Very enjoyable.
