  Decanted for four hours and ate with grilled wagu ribeye, scallops, and roasted potatoes. Almost opaque. Not a perfect wine by any measure. Some serious tannic intensity towards the bottom of the bottle. Nonetheless, some delightful dusty fuzz at the start and quite lovely dark fruit and balance for much of it.

  Tasting alongside Pride Mountain Cab 1997. At two decades, the fill level, label, foil and cork were in perfect condition. Tonight, this was consistent with my previous tasting a decade ago, back in 2009, when I wrote: "Dark, full bodied, full flavored currant, red raspberry, and black cherry with a long soft polished tannin finish." 92 points.
  
  Much like the Pride, heralding from the same terroir, this was dark garnet colored, medium full bodied, complex, finely integrated blackberry and black cherry fruits accented by notes of cassis, cola, and hints of mocha turning to silky fine grained tannins on the long lingering finish.

  Dark, black and red fruits. Ate with skirt steak. Better once it had some air. Quite nice, but lacked depth.
