1997 vintage - a privilege to taste this wine again - tasted blind and certainly travelling better than the one from my own cellar in my previous note - a gorgeous wine with beautiful balance of fading fruit & tannin

1997 vintage - on the downward slide but at 18 years of age, showing its classy pedigree - interesting to taste against the 04 tasted at the masked Zin tasting 1/12 ago - fruit has faded but structure & length maintained
