Weekly tasting group RWP #347; 1999 (@ BS): In the bouquet espresso, dark berries and licorice. Also cedar and salty licorice. Beautiful and complex bouquet. On the palate dark berries, beautifully dosed oak, chocolate, some licorice, juicy and fresh acidity and lovely soft tannin. What a great surprise! This relatively simple wine is in this mediocre vintage still a small feast after 20 years :-).

Awesome wine that matched beautifully with the filet mignon. Earthy but not barnardy, with hint of spice and black fruit. Clearly a wine to drink with dinner and not pass it up. Thanks to Lori for the suggestion.
