This was a very fun wine, so happy to see it stand the test of time. Bright dusty fruit and a lasting acidity.

Still showing some lovely red cherry fruit, earthy, soft yet noticeable tannins, great acidity, long, lingering finish, wonderful, but needs more time in the cellar!!

Lovely, complex dried red cherry fruit, some earthiness as well, this seems mature and more evolved than the 1996, but absolutely great length and depth, wonderful!
