Dark ruby. Almost opaque. Nose of sweet black fruit, dry brush, soil and black olives. Expansive in the mouth with nice structure. Coats the palate. Medium finish. Nice.

In its prime and would not age more. Aged cherry, leather, hint of caramel that is smooth yet structured.

In it's prime, drink the '99s now. Outstanding balance- fruit still robust, silky tannins- blackberry, plum, licorice, tobacco, leather, with a hint of sweetness on the finish.
