Had 2 bottles tasted in a row. The first showed bricking and was over the hill. The second was still good. Balanced Cabernet, black currant, mocha and hint of anise and spice. Medium length. Aged less well than the 1997 Mondavi Oakville Cabernet tasted simultaneously. Drink.

Still nice dark color. Nose of mint, some black currant but also dusty mulberry. Finish has some savory herbaceous notes. Has faint Malbec like notes. Smooth and has grainy tannins.

Nice black currant and black raspberry. Sweet. Fine tannins. Higher score if finish was longer. Still good, but will not improve. SJ 89.
