Way better than the last Bottle. Much more lively. This was a $20 top 100 wine spectator wine way back when and it is finely showing that it deserves the accolades.

This has remained strikingly young! Fresh blackcurrant and blackberry, pepper garden, and gravel. Quite concentrated, yet not over extracted. Powerful acid and tannins. Balanced oak and alcohol. This shows its Bordeaux roots, but shades to Cabernet Sauvignon based blends grown in the black volcanic rock veins of Napa Valley. Crazy good! Recommend holding for several years.

For an inexpensive BDX from an excellent vintage, not bad, but pretty thin and likely not going to get much better.

Now mature, full bodied and hedonistic: very enjoyable!
