Excellent cork and very good color still. No bricking in this bottle. Some cherry and raspberry, but mostly oak tannins, flavors and spices left. Definitely still some tannins, but no doubt on the downhill course. Was a good pairing with hamburgers and French fries. Would consume remaining bottles very soon.

This wine aged very well, although it required decanting. Lots of dark fruit up front, soft tannins, and a hint of vanilla in its finish

Compared to the 1996 we had the night before, it was not as mellow.. Maybe we needed to decant it a bit longer - it was good but not as good.
