  More or less consistent with previous notes, though a damp carboard mustyness came and went, possibly a slight amount of cork taint. More acidity than the last bottle had, though still not quite a great balance. We speculated that this probably tasted a little green when young and the holes in the midpalate were simply where that faded. Nice with chinese takeout, but I'm glad this is my last bottle.

  Gasoline fumes and some mingled fruit flavors going on. Interesting, and probably worth $9, but less acidity than I like (though I wouldn't quite describe it as flabby). This seems to be a good effort in a difficult vintage but is probably a bit past it's prime and should be drank soon. Weaver disagreed when he drank his bottle and said he thought it could go a few more years even, so there may be some variation here.
