  So, from all estimations this is the middle of the pack for the Cristom wines, though you’d be hard pressed to say that based to this bottle. Fine color and excellent cork (on a WineBid bottle, no less!). Pale ruby robe with a bit of bricking on the meniscus. The nose offers a few artifacts of elévage and an array of red fruits, crushed (woody) herbs, baking spice, and balsam. The palate is well on the path to resolved, but with fine energy offsetting mature, burnished notes. Plenty of cherry and red plum flavors with enough juicy acidity and ripe tannins to accompany a pan roasted rose veal chop with polenta and a shiitake pan sauce. Fine cut and long expansive finish here. Sensational retro-nasal persistence here—plenty of that peacock’s tail. I like this a bunch. Real flair with all the earthiness. If I can find some bottles, absolutely a buyer. Yum!

  Light in color, and a beautiful fragrance of dark fruits plum and cherry. Light and deft in the mouth too, a perfect choice for my crippled palate.

  Modest flowery nose. Modest cherry fruit, well balanced with some chalk.

  This wine is surprisingly still pretty good given its age. Should drink now, but still nice.
