This wine had a nice backbone to it and a very smooth finish. It took me awhile to get a real handle on the flavors at work here, but there was a really nice earthiness to this one. A bit drier than I had expected, but overall an excellent wine.

Nutmeg & cloves on nose evolve into black cherry undertones, cigar flavors on mid-palate. Tannins are still firm- would stand to cellar another 3-5 years. A lovely wine!

More complex and powerful nose with blueberry and blackberry aromas, earth, dry dusty aromas with tar, smoke, and sour mash in the nose; a more complex wine than the ’98, the wine is also quite drier with the flavors of the fruit engaged through a grainy filter of dry tannins and earth; the wine seems to be in one of its closed periods, as I think that there is more depth and complexity in this wine than is apparent at this time; good solid finish with lots of balanced acidity and earthy, somewhat coarse flavors. (17.5/20)
