Tasted 3 times.. Agreed with flavor profile from WA. Feel it will not reach optiumum drinking for 10 years. Needs at least 90 minutes of decanting at this time. After 90, it starts to open up and show its true beauty.

Wine was better than expected coming from a difficult vintage. plenty of aromatics. Casis, black currents, vanilla, toasty, cedar, dried herbs, cigar box. mouth fill was full and rich. flavors followed through with the aromatics. Tannin's were well integrated. wine was consistent and complete across the pallet and well balanced. finish was a solid 40 seconds.

i have heard various reviews on this wine over the years. Sometimes it has been dumb and flat, sour and dead, good.. But hey, after 19 years and tasting it several times and having different experiences, it is showing very well tonight. Dried blood, minerals spice, violets, spice, earth tones and saddle. very aromatic....flavors followed the nose.. mouth feel was round and full, very nice...minerals, violets all come out in front. finishes was at least 30 seconds.. very nice wine. i wont get any better but still has a few years left in this wine.
