Really all knees and elbows at this point. The primary fruit is receding but the wine is still structured and edgy. Also, the alcohol is notable. Agree with Burgundy Al - perhaps more CdP that burgundy?? Wait perhaps, but I'm not sure this is heading anywhere near the '99s - which I loved.

Deep gold color and pronounced baked apple, nutmeg and orange wine twang on the nose. Surprisingly fresh tasting though. Easy drink really with more apple pie and skin contact beer-like flavors. Really was a fairly generous skin contact wine without too many complications. Perhaps that is a nit, in that it doesn't offer much complication for the price. A one note wine but it's a very nice note.

Unfortunately the cork spun in the bottle neck and the wine was oxidized. A shame as this is delicious when on form.
