I would say this one is waning . . I remember about 10 years ago being knocked over by the power in the bottle from this same vintage but alas . . The fruit is drying out and while it was pleasant enough, there was no real lingering finish.

Not much on the nose, good structure, hint of mocha, cedar, black fruit, finish was medium. The wine was in perfect condition, and lasted longer than previous bottles.

Quite delicious, fruity and youthful. Warning...extended decanting did not help.

Probably a little past its prime now but still showed nice structure and mouth feel although light in fruit. Dusty cherry on the palate.
