I'm so glad I found a bottle of this from a new wine/liquor store I've found that belong to a lovely couple.
I was a bit worried that this would bottle would be flawed like 2/3 bottles of 97 Napanook I purchased from winebid(1 of the bottles were perfect and the wine was as well) but gladly that wasn't the case.
Reminiscint of the 2003 Dominus I had a few years ago.
Touch green and cherry and currant. Cocoa, leather and tobacco.

Wow. Still deep dark color, medium body. Day 1: overwhelming nose of dark fruit, vanilla, cedar a bit tobacco, concentrated and silky. Day 2: less dominant fruit but silky, silky, silky. A wine of high pleasure. I guess this will keep for 2-3 more years! Bravo

Slow evolution since I tasted it five years ago, dark red in colour, simple but still tight on the palate, the nose is absolutely beautiful, very gracious and sweet! Ready to go but not fully mature!

Juicy, well balanced wine that is still drinking like a young wine. Lush and tannic. Cocoa, blackberry, red velvet cake.
