1996. Bold menthol and eucalyptus, clove and dried fruits. Velvety texture with cigar box and menthol notes. Long bright finish which was unexpected. Really fascinating wine

Drinking with mom and dad for Mother's Day. Plumish but with some brown-ness. Not garnet but orange-er. Nose is minimal. It has a little something but it is hard to place. It is juicy, surprisingly so, but the age shows through. It is complex and grows. A little sweetness, pomegranate maybe. It is very good. $150 at Fiola (1996)

Medicinal and savory, opening up to an almost Burgundian prettiness about two hours in. It didn’t last, but altogether fascinating (if not consistently pleasurable).

Nose of raisin prunes but a bit oxidized. Palate acidic and lean. Medium finish. Toni JL private tasting.
