Pale garnet, watery rim. Muscular and funky, some dried hay, dark earth and fleshy plum. Decent structure, length and dimension but still firmly within the '96 framework: bright, taut and lean.

Decanted but began drinking within 15 minutes. Some fine grained sediment that left half an inch of wine in the bottle. Nose shows raspberry, briar, flower, mineral salts, some sautéed mushrooms, and a bit of pizza dough. Palate shows tons of bright red fruit (raspberry and strawberry). Finishes with more of the fruit and mild acidity, with some very light mushroom, but this is basically all soft fruit. An enjoyable wine that still has plenty of life left.
