Ethereal. Notes of Asian spice and cedar. Unicorn vintage. A wine for the ages.

Holding up well but not as good as some of the bottles I've had of 97 in the past. Drink em if you got em

This was fantastic. Still very youthful, bright acidity, dried red and black fruit but nothing bruised. This could lay down for another 5 years easily
