1997 vintage and it was so lively but balanced. Perfect combo of earthiness, fruit and an incredible balance of soft tannins. Incredible. Could also see it going for another 5-10 years.

Happy birthday red wine!! Bold black and red berry flavors, leather, eucalyptus, smokey, balanced, soft tannins working in harmony with the chalky mid palate, rising toward a powerful crisp finish of lip smacking goodness. This wine coats your mouth on the way down begging for another sip. It’s difficult to go slow and savor when the flavors are this elegant and lovely. Still my favorite domestic wine.
