1997. Wine holding up much better than the bottle print.

Magnum 03 gemstone. Terroir driven in change mode. Definitely silky but moving into some bottle bouquet.

Incredible. Big with great balance and opens up in the glass.

Seems to be rare, as there are only three other bottles in CellarTracker. Guessing this was a Cuvée for the Restaurant. Merlot Cab blend with a dollop of Cab Franc and PV. Probably a little past prime, but still showing some nice character.
