July 11, 2023 - Same bottle as Nutty08. This bottle had gotten a little cooked somewhere along the way

March 24, 2023 - Decanted one hour. Medium bodied. Almost Burgundian. Delightful subtle nose.. Black cherry, smoke, and underbrush come through. Relatively short on the finish. One of the better 1999s. Drink up.

February 3, 2023 - Drinking good, but I think it would need at least five more years in bottle. Pomerol and seems like still developing.

April 3, 2022 - Decanted for two hours. The decanting really helped open up the wine. Medium to full bodied. Black cherry, blackberries, mocha and earth come through. Round and enjoyable.
