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.

5 hrs of air. Nice bold Brunello notes. Cassis with dark berry fruit. Tannins integrated but still some stringent wood notes. Great with and elk main in a byob restaurant.

Pretty ripe and fairly raisined at this point, but smooth in its dried cherry and prune sandalwood self.

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.
