1999 vintage. deep brick red fading to pale brick rim. Wet charcoal wet graphite with textured layers of savory spice and black fruit. Tannin profile terrific with long chain polymer tannins. Milk chocolate cocoa milky tannins leading to a silky finish. Still youthful and vibrant.

Just not my style of wine. Tasted more like the taint of the ram pictured than grape juice. :-)

Elegantly wild. Complexity throughout. Shows strikingly intense aromatics of myriad barn notes. Reserved on the palette, this is gentlemanly austere at 12.5%. Long, focused finish. Doesn’t get too much better for my liking.
