Deep garnet red. Aged characteristics on the nose with burnt or smoked wood, a little mesquite, red berries and some dark soil. Moderate tannins (6.5/10) and medium to medium plus bodied. Definitely not as much power as the 1996. Light baking spices on the palate with some soft red fruits. A little something in the long finish. Drink now.
