March 29, 2022 - I don't review many wines, but I've had a couple bottles of this wine lately (I bought a case en primeur), while this wine does not have the fruit it once did, it is still a GREAT drinking wine! Smooth, rich, lovely, NO bite whatsoever.
It drinks like a classic. If you have some, do yourself a favor and make an excuse to drink it. It's obviously not going to last forever.
I popped the cork, double decanted and served immediately, perfect.
I think the rest of my bottles won't last long!! -

June 11, 2021 - Sweet fruit leather in aroma and smoky oak. This beauty seemed to be on the downhill portion of its peak. Delicate finish, no harsh tannins on the finish. Flavors of musty basement/minerals , savory, thick earthy flavors, and mellowed out dried fruit. Cork totally intact and easily removed with a corkscrew.
We opened two wines from 2000 for my daughters 21st birthday and this one was her favorite!
