Hard to rate this. Enjoyed the experience of tasting but it was flawed. A little flabby in my opinion. Fruit remained but nothing else showed through.

Enjoyed with cheesecake and fresh berries on the back deck
Despite the age, still vibrant and fresh

An interesting, but difficult wine. The nose is just stunning: it oozes pineapple, honey, and roasted nuts; extremely aromatic. On the palate, things are a little more complicated. Very dark, almost bourbon in color: I might guess this is oxidized, but it is unctuous and thick, with loads of papaya and pineapple. I was expecting this to be sweeter than it was: it finishes with a roasted fruit character, like the sugar has been slightly attenuated. Noticeably less sweet than the '98 which I had recently. Maybe with the right food pairing this would work well, but it didn't quite work with pecan pie...
