decanted for about three hours. Medium purple color. The palate still has a decent amount of fruit left. Mostly red fruit like currants and rassberrys. Lots acid keeps the wine virbrant with a medium finish.

Corked! The color on the cork was fine with no signs of aging. The corkiness was very subtle at first. Once the wine warmed, the tca came on stronger. The wine showed signs of having high acid with some meaty notes on the fruit. It would have been an 88 point wine. Won’t buy anymore.

Tasted @ the OC Fratello's Offline (Small Decanter)--Light pepper nose with some red fruit on nose. Little ink, and that typical AM terroir note of cranberry. Still needs more time but showing how well made the 1999s were and how they are hanging in.
