  Still with some life, but with a good bit of oxidation, air wasn’t its friend. A little disappointing as it was magnificent in its youth.

  I had low expectations given problems with so many 1996s, but no problems to be found here. Still showing plenty of apple, modest spice, but very good energy and minerality. Very good length. Color was still bright, fruit so fresh that if served blind I would have thought this 10 years younger.

  I was worried about premox, but this bottle proved to be very nice. It started out tight and grapefruity, but continued to open up with time and air. A nice balance of minerality and slightly exotic fruits. Drank the bottle over 2 nights and it was still tasty on night #2.
