  October 7, 2014 - Perfect provenance and fill level.
  
  No notes taken.
  
  Looks like a slightly bricking 1999.
  
  Impressive black, red, and some blue fruits.
  Moderate body weight,
  good integrated mouth-feel,
  consistent fruit throughout.
  
  Some pop-up sandalwood notes.
  
  Holding up extremely well.
  
  The oldest Imagery I have tried,
  and it goes to show how good of a touch they have,
  even being organic and all that jazz at Benziger
  (and of course how good the roots are at yielding nice sunshine-in-a-glass).
  
  The proper picture on this one is a lovely Roman lad,
  with the organic headdress of the day (think Olympics).
  
  91 points.
  
  Quite nice on it's own (and fine with moderate-tannin food too).
  
  "Fonzi" of Happy Days show.
  Why?
  Solid, yummy without being overstated,
  not like drinking a Eucalyptus tree nor over-zealous mint.
  
  Memorable in it's bright fruit,
  for it's experience in the bottle.
  
  A great blind tasting bottle,
  for those who don't realize some years and creations can go on and on...
