1996 vintage. Excellent aging cork with an above average fill. Not decanted. PNP and tasted immediately. Tannins fairly bowed with the passage of decades but still showing up for the weekly hang. Light-medium body. Slightly sweet intro/startup that quickly sorts into plum, coffee and chocolate notes. This was a bad, bad tannic boy back in the day but is fully reformed now. 03.19.25.

Wonderful wine, beautifully integrated with perfect balance of primary and secondary features. Mature but still fresh. Classic currant, cedar, pencil and touch of sage.
