Beautiful wine and showing well at 18 years old. I believe my old friend Jason Drew was there for the '96.

A little flabby in stellar company, antiseptic nose, band aid. Potential slight flaw.

1st vintage from the Kronos vineyard. What a treat!
Decant for sediment(lots of sediment). A splendid medium ruby red color with bricking. On the nose: dried red fruit, smoked meat, worn leather, coffee grounds, dried herbs, truffles. Taste: silky, and so fresh for its age with sour cherry, loamy soil, black tea, graphite, herbs, and a nice pepper-earth medium plus finish. YUM!!!! Sure on the downside, but still perfectly drinkable.

Flight 1 along with 1996 Corison, 1997 Corison, and 1997 Kronos. Top half of a magnum. Candied cherry, strong ash on the nose. Developed a bit of greenness after opening up. Bottom half in Flight 2 had black tea and Szechuan pepper notes.
