  Surprisingly good. Held up fairly well. Good acid/fruit balance.

  Enjoyed over 2 nights, nose of black berry, black cherry, and sage, same on the palate, big body, showing well both nights, tasty, mouth filing fruit, not a great vintage but great winemaking scored well here, and a long, lovely chocolate finish, time to drink up even if you have great storage, photo uploaded.

  I am drinking a couple of verticals bought at the winery almost 20 years ago. Of course they should have been drunk earlier. We drank the 1998 Napa 3 months ago and it was very similar to this.
  There is a slightly funky scent, some bricking, decent acidity and civilized tannins. Not what what this wine was famous for but still very drinkable. I remember writing a similar note for the ‘’97.

  Part of 4 vintage tasting. Familiar oak nose. Wine had aged more than the 97. Much lighter and less structure than 94 - 97. Still fine wine but wouldn’t wait any longer, drink up

  Drank on BI’s deck. Group consensus was that it was pretty bland with no real fruit. It was stored well but a few years over the hill IMO.
