Pleasantly surprised. Deep dark fruit, nice texture and fine tannin that carried the wine on the palate. Nowhere near as great as the 1997, but good nonetheless.

Still drinking alright. Still deep red in the glass and not really getting that brick color around the edges. I think the drinking window on this is all wet - drinking now but don't think it will improve with further cellaring. Flavors have settled with the tannins on this wine and have integrated nicely. Get a big steak on the bbq and enjoy this one now!

More Tobacco than last time, along with fresh cut grass as well as coffee. Heavy big wine that makes an impression. Loved it, wish I had more.

Dark red. Great full flavor and mouthfeel. Coffee, dark chocholate on the nose. Clean finish with integrated tanins. Drinking great now.

Closed, not that impressive, especially at the $65 suggested price.
