Wednesday, May 3, 2023 - This is fine for a $30 bottle of wine. I like it less now than I used to because I've gravitated even further into the traditional camp, and this is definitely a modern wine, albeit not as gloopy as many from this era. This is the reason I go for less ripe "off" vintages like '97 and '01 over '98, '00 and '05. In any case, this shows rich chocolate, plum, and vanilla notes on a medium frame with silky tannins. Drank well upon opening but started to deteriorate on day 2.
