Uncorked about 1 hour before tasting and this is better at a cooler temp. Golden color with very pleasing aromatics. It's in the secondary/teritiary stages of its life, but I believe it will still evolve for the next 3-5 years. On the palate, it's well-balanced, medium-bodied, with a medium minus acidity that's lost it's brightness, but is still fully integrated and became more apparent after 1 1/2 hours. On the palate, very flavorful and suggestive of lanolin on the mid-palate and finish, the caramel on caramel corn, orange marmalade, pear, and cut lemons that have been stored a few days. It was very enjoyable and I'd buy again.

12 years later and still so much oak on this. Not much primary left, but even if there was with all this oak it's in the background for sure.
