I would say this one is waning . . I remember about 10 years ago being knocked over by the power in the bottle from this same vintage but alas . . The fruit is drying out and while it was pleasant enough, there was no real lingering finish.

Not much on the nose, good structure, hint of mocha, cedar, black fruit, finish was medium. The wine was in perfect condition, and lasted longer than previous bottles.

Drank on easter. Leaky cork...Great wine. Still has plenty of life to go. Decanted twenty minutes then into the glass. I'm already looking forward to the next time I get to enjoy this wine. I don't remember the nose, but the finish was about 25 seconds. Nicely complex.

Quite delicious, fruity and youthful. Warning...extended decanting did not help.

Probably a little past its prime now but still showed nice structure and mouth feel although light in fruit. Dusty cherry on the palate.

Light floral nose, well balanced, fruity, strong tannins, and a nice finish.

Deep red/purple. Medium aroma of blcak fruit and briar. Nicely balanced electric black fruits on the palate. Long finish.
