1999 is drinking beautifully. Lots of fruit but the wine is soft, silky and oh so drinkable.

From Magnum. Had low expectations for this auction bottle when I opened for houseguest relatives on a Monday night. Nice nose on open, but mouth-puckering dryness/wood chips on the palate. Almost thought of moving on to something else, but this blossomed after 30 min in the decanter. Good fruit and velvety smooth. Still going strong on second night. Nice surprise.
