Tasted after 2000. Good nose, but less layered and nuanced compared to the 2000. On the palate a little tired, not much fruit, acidity sticking out. Medium length. The group’s favourite, with the 2006 my least favourite. Drink up. 87-89

Wow! Dynamite violet-red on the eye. Aromas of dark red fruits with a bit of spice and pepper. Fantabulous balance with subtle tannins and a long, elegant finish. Think Nicole Kidman dressed for the Oscars...stunning elegance and stature Still has a few good years in her ;-)

This is the last bottle from a set of six purchased on the Island Princess during a Panama Canal cruise. We decanted for 4 hours. It was still rich, spicy, with a hint of berry. Glad we drank now, isn't as good as it was last year.

Drink them now if you still have some. Drank with the 97 and I actually believe the 97 held up better but both are past their prime.
