Decanted an hour or so before drinking Red fruit (cherry, slight raspberry), strong floral- rose, nice spice, good acidity. Nice fruit. Really enjoyable. Lingering finish

Beautiful, expressive and mature bouquet. On the palate autumn forest, coffee, chocolate, some tea, juicy and fresh acidity. Full bodied wine with a good length and slightly drying in the finish.

Get Together (MK's home): A slight amount of funky, wet cardboard aromas with leather, dried cherries, and mild flowers. Palate with lovely red cherries, herbs, some leather. Elegant palate, with nice acids and mild tannins. I think the wine was ever so slightly corked - it barely got stronger as the night wore on. Others disagreed. But the slight corkiness didn't really detract from the palate which was lovely.

My last bottle, but still on an upward curve, and I now think of this as one of the best 98s I've had. I love the tobacco, tar, wood smoke notes in this wine, the purity, the lack of heat, the dried herbs. Continues to impress.

Surprisingly good. Amazing aromatics right on opening the cork. Youthful in appearance. A mid-weight wine, but with outstanding balance and depth, and clarity of fruit. Overperformed relative to my expectations.
