WineBid Tasting Event (Mandarin Oriental): Much more vibrant than the two Phelps we had before (one from 70's, one from 80's). This is piles of black fruits and something else that is a bit tough to make out in my notes. Wine was in a good spot. Very tasty.

Had at a spectacular WINEBID.com tasting event. Total of 39 wines tasted with an unbelievable lineup ! Bravo to Sterling Roig.
Drank from a magnum. Wildly berry laiden fruit. Much more aromatic than the 94' but not quite as melancholy as that one. More forward and aggressive. I loved this wine.
