Bought on Release...Stunning... Purple to Crimson Rim...coffee bean, blackberries, graphite, dark chocolate...looks like a 2003 More earth as it opens tannin still peaks through in the background.

opened 24 hrs prior to tasting. Not unpleasant - still had some life; although fruit had definitely faded to nothing more than a background note. Initial surge of earth, moss and muted mushroom... went nicely with the prime rib. Leather and lace finish.

Chunky sediment, better than the 1992, lots of life left.

Best in the tasting. Luscious, rich, dark fruit, very long finish, decadent. A beautiful, fully mature, ripe bottle.
