We drank a bottle after having a bottle of 99 with rack of lamb. Softer than the 99, smoother tannins and shorter finish. Notes of leather and tobacco and no cherry flavors as in the 99. More plum and blackberry. A bit of chocolate in the back. Softer than the 99. The blend was a bit different than the 99. Still very nice and plenty of time to drink up this lovely wine
