Saturday, April 6, 2013 - Popped and poured alongside the 1998 version. Much less giving than the 98, even with some vigorous swirling. Black cherry and berry on the nose and palate with crushed stone and the tiniest bit of floral trying to poke through. Some very dark spice as well. The palate still has a very firm mineral backbone to it. If I had another bottle in the cellar I'd try to wait at least another 5 years, if not 10 before trying again. Great potential though.
