  Drank alongside Mondavi reserve '97, '99 and Fisher '07.
  
  eh...did not show particularly well on this night. Maybe out classed by the above.
  Brick ruby red showing age/oxidation.
  Soft plush mouthfeel. Earthy notes, consistent with prev notes.
  Out fruited by the '97 Mondavi and outweighted by the '99 Mondavi. Fisher stole the show in structure and complexity, BWise the bridesmaid tonight.

  8/22/2016 - JKelly05 Likes this wine:

  Dark Ruby +, slightly garnet on the edge showing some age
  Nose: Red and blue fruits, gravel road, berries, vanilla, oak present, wet stones, cellar
  Palate: Dark black fruits, very soft mouthfeel and lush mouthcoating texture, nice fruit present, macerated black fruits, restrained and elegant wine right now, the strength of the mountain fruits having softened beautifully
