Perfect condition... drinking beautifully. Decanted to filter, but needed no time to open up. Wonderful aroma, balanced and crisp fruit. Drank like a well-aged bordeaux. Had with friends, they really enjoyed as well. Still drinking great... no need to wait any longer on this one.

Tried this at a vertical tasting of these wines from '95-'99; this was considered the star of the night and is still drinking beautifully. Definitely fully mature and doubtful it improves, but very enjoyable and complex with adequate structure to hold it all together. The '96 also was excellent; the '95 seemed younger oddly but not quite as good.

Wow, really drinking well, needs to open at least 2 hours beforehand and you will be rewarded with rich, layers of soft stone fruit and sturdy tannin.
